Manufacturing Guides

Engineering guidance for project planning

Explore die casting, with guidance on part design, tooling, wall transitions, draft, filling, venting, ejection, porosity, machining and production cost.

Apply the guidance to your part

Use the articles to prepare technical questions and identify information needed for quotation. Confirm the applicable material standards, drawing revision, customer specifications and acceptance requirements for the project.

Prepare for technical review

Send the model, drawing, material specification, order quantities, finish and required inspection records. Highlight unresolved design decisions so they can be addressed before tooling or production begins.
