Die casting service

We support you in your project for your prototype foundry tools, taking care to meet your expectations. We have the die casting expertise to manufacture quality parts using our single or multi-cavity steel moulds. These moulds will allow you to obtain tens to several tens of thousands of parts in materials such as aluminium, magnesium or zinc.

What is die casting?

Die casting is a process of injecting metal under pressure into a steel mould to produce complex shaped parts with cavities. The precision of the dimensions eliminates some of the rework, which reduces machining and material costs. The most commonly used die casting alloys are aluminium, zinc and magnesium. This process combined with re-machining is generally used to manufacture complex parts with high precision.
