Mold release is a requirement for the die casting process. Learn more about its importance and functionality here. 

Dynacast Peterborough is featured in this week's post and the facility's manufacturing capabilities are highlighted and explained. 

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding the feasibility and functionality of zero draft angles in die casting, or casting a metal component without conceding...

The rapid growth of a new generation of automobiles is driving new engineering innovations and advancements in technology but it is also creating challenges for automotive designers, engineers, and their suppliers.

There are many die casting companies that make tools in order to manufacture a customer’s product. So why are Dynacast’s tools higher quality? As the Operations Manager for Dynacast’s Germantown tooling division, I’ve seen first hand why our tools are preferred over others in the business. 

Watch as this cell creates die cast parts and seamlessly runs them through the entire production process, without the touch of a single hand.

Involving Dynacast engineers early in the design process is an important step to reduce lead time and give you a competitive advantage. 

When searching for the best die casting company, customers aren’t just searching for the lowest costs. We spoke with design engineers to find out what they look for when it comes to evaluating die cast manufacturers.

At a quick glance one would assume that there is no place for zinc in lightweight applications, but if we look at the entire die casting process as a whole, can the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to lightweight zinc components?

Historically, in order to cast aluminum with thin-wall sections, we would have used custom formulated high-fluidity alloys. However, our engineers recently developed a method to apply this technology to standard alloys. Read more here.

The high strength properties of ZA-27, combined with its castability, enable our team of engineers to design for strength but at the same time reduce the overall material content of competing materials. 

Designed for speed, agility, and flexibility, the 115,000 square foot die casting plant manufactures more than 144 million parts a year for a number of different industries.

Dynacast Germany is investing in the future with an enterprising apprenticeship program, which has already trained 41 apprentices in the fine art of tool making.

In an article from ABB Robotics, Dynacast Italy was highlighted because of our successful implementation of their robots. This addition allows us to expand our capabilities as well as helps us produce components more than 500 grams in weight faster and more efficiently.

Dynacast’s Machine Building Center, located in Germany, has the engineering staff and facility capabilities to develop some of the most precise die casting machines in the world. 

In 25 years at Dynacast, a differentiating factor in our business has always been our multi-slide technology. We have the ability to create machines, tools, and processes based on customers’ needs...

At Dynacast all of our machines need to meet certain standards. As a machine ages, technologies can become outdated and parts can wear. 

The wearable device industry has been getting a significant amount of press as manufacturers churn out new devices at a rapid pace.
