The Benefits of Multi-Slide Technology

For over 25 years, Dynacast has set itself apart in the precision die casting industry through the innovation and performance of its multi-slide technology. Unlike traditional die casting processes, our proprietary approach allows us to design and build machines, tools, and casting solutions tailored specifically to each customer's unique requirements.

This flexibility enables us to deliver components with unmatched precision, quality, and efficiency—a capability few others in the industry can offer.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

Our engineering team believes the most successful projects start with early collaboration. By involving our engineers during the design phase, we help customers take full advantage of multi-slide tooling to achieve optimal manufacturability.

Multi-slide tooling provides far greater design flexibility through multiple directions of pull. This allows complex geometries to be cast directly into the part, often eliminating costly secondary machining or drilling operations.

For example, when producing a component with a through-hole, a multi-slide die casting tool can cast the hole directly into the part. Traditional tooling, on the other hand, would require post-casting drilling, adding time, cost, and potential for variation.

By integrating DFM principles early, Dynacast helps customers minimize production steps, improve part consistency, and reduce overall costs.

Multi-Slide Tooling: Precision and Efficiency Combined

Our multi-slide die casting machines feature advanced thrusters, a flexible crosshead adaptor system, and a rapid pneumatic injection system. Together, these technologies:

• Minimize part variation and dimensional deviation
• Improve metal flow and fill speed
• Reduce flash and porosity
• Enable tighter process control across large production runs

The result is a casting process capable of mass-producing small, intricate components with outstanding accuracy and surface finish. Multi-slide tooling ensures every part meets exacting tolerances while maintaining cost-efficiency at scale.

Part Improvement and Superior Part Quality Consistency

With Dynacast's multi-slide die casting technology, manufacturers gain exceptional control over dimensional accuracy and surface finish, resulting in consistent, high-quality parts across every production run. Multi-slide tools are designed to achieve better part-to-part uniformity with tighter tolerances, typically around ±0.002 inches—less than half the variation seen in components produced using standard tooling.

This level of precision enables a wide range of part improvements, including:

• The ability to cast thinner walls for reduced weight and material savings
• More accurate casting of external and internal threads
• Enhanced surface quality with minimal porosity or flash
• Greater consistency between production batches, even at high volumes

By combining precise tooling, optimized metal flow, and process repeatability, Dynacast's multi-slide process produces higher-quality components that require minimal finishing and assembly.we are able to cast external threads more precisely.

Reducing Costs and Waste

Traditional die casting tooling can be complex and expensive, particularly for parts that require multiple directions of pull or post-machining. Multi-slide technology solves these challenges by integrating those features into a single operation.

Key cost advantages include:

• Lower tooling costs: Multi-slide tools can cost less than half of standard tools, thanks to their ability to cast complete features without secondary operations.
• Reduced waste: Smaller runners and overflows mean less excess material and lower scrap rates.
• Faster cycle times: Multi-slide systems fill and eject parts more quickly, improving throughput and reducing per-part cost.

Depending on the part geometry, a multi-slide tool may have anywhere from five to seven slides, enabling complex shapes to be produced efficiently and consistently.

Multi-Slide Die Casting for Complex Components

Dynacast's multi-slide die casting process is the ideal solution for small, high-precision, and geometrically complex components. It excels at producing net-shape or near-net-shape parts, including intricate internal and external threads without the need for secondary machining.

Applications span across industries such as:

• Automotive and EV components
• Consumer electronics
• Medical devices
• Telecommunications hardware
• Industrial equipment and connectors

By combining innovation in tooling design with decades of process expertise, Dynacast continually improves the efficiency, speed, and quality of its die casting operations, delivering the best parts possible with the most advanced technology available.
