Advantages of High-Pressure Die Casting
Another advantage of High-Pressure Die Casting is that it generally doesn’t require much machining thanks to excellent dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces. Compared to other manufacturing processes, high-pressure die casting is an efficient, economical process that:
- Produce strong, lightweight parts that require less machining than fabricated parts
- Create complex and intricate shapes in a single piece, eliminating the need for assembly or welding
- Offer a more broad range of shapes that other metal manufacturing techniques
- Achieves close tolerances
