Frequently Asked Questions
Get the Answers You Need
Why choose Permanent Mold for your project?
Our Permanent Mold Process offers an economical and high-quality alternative to pressure die casting. It provides superior surface finishes, dimensional accuracy, and strength-to-weight ratios, all while being cost-effective.
What are the ideal annual volume requirements for Permanent Mold?
Perfect for medium volumes ranging from 500 to 50,000 pieces, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
What are the design criteria for Permanent Mold castings?
- Sizes: From ounces to 100 lbs.
- Minimum Wall Thickness: 0.180” preferred.
- Minimum Draft Angles: 3 degrees preferred.
- Linear Tolerances: 0.010” to 0.025”, with tighter tolerances through CNC machining.
What is the Semi-Permanent Mold process?
Utilizes sand cores to create complex internal geometries that other methods, like pressure die casting, cannot achieve.
