Aluminum die casting is ideal for precise components with tight weight specifications in industries such as automotive, electronics and medical technology. The process has established itself thanks to its excellent chemical and mechanical properties as well as high corrosion resistance and strength. Aluminium is particularly suitable for electronic components due to its good conductivity and magnetic neutrality.
→ Specialized in small and medium series in the weight range from 0.005 to 4 kg
→ Full-service partner from product design to surface finishing
→ Technical development consulting to avoid change loops
→ Just-in-time production according to individual specifications
→ Replacement and post-series production possible (aftermarket)
→ Low unit costs for medium to large series
→ Ideal for complex and thin-walled components with fine contours
→ Consistent component quality regardless of the quantity
→ Shorter cycle times compared to other casting processes
→ Low post-processing costs due to near-net-shape castings
→ High dimensional accuracy and dimensional stability even with high quantities
→ Smooth surfaces that can often be reused directly without post-treatment
→ Suitable for mixed designs by casting in steel or bronze bushings, for example
