Conventional die casting

Molten metal is forced under high pressure into a reusable two-part steel mould, where it rapidly cools and solidifies, taking the exact shape of the cavity. This process is used in both hot- and cold-chamber machines.

Conventional die casting uses a two-part mould design, making it ideal for high-volume production of larger parts. Multi-Slide casting, with its complex four-sided tooling, enables highly detailed components. The key difference lies in the mould itself—with conventional die casting prioritising speed and Multi-Slide focusing on intricate features.

Conventional die casting uses a two-part mould, which is inherently less complex than the Multi-Slide mould with its multiple moving slides and mechanisms. This simpler design reduces wear and tear on the die components.
