Aluminum casting gravity mold prototype
We can respond to mass production prototypes of aluminum castings using gravity (aluminum die casting) at a low cost and with a short delivery time.
Features of Gravity - Smooth surface finish - High precision - Low occurrence of defects It is possible to manufacture molds for small-scale production at a low cost and with a short lead time, and we are conducting prototypes (small-scale production) using these molds. Generally, aluminum castings produced in mass production molds are made using sand casting methods during prototyping due to the low initial costs and short lead times for small quantities. However, the sand casting method has a slow cooling rate, making it prone to defects (pinholes), which can make proper product evaluation during prototyping difficult. *Please refer to the PDF for more details.
basic information
We offer low-cost and short lead time prototypes using gravity casting with molds. Since we can reduce initial costs, it is possible to convert machined parts into castings. Generally, this method is adopted for medium production of aluminum castings, but it is considered unsuitable for prototypes in terms of cost and lead time. Our company addresses this by lowering the costs associated with mold production and shortening lead times. Example of achievements: (Example) Cost of producing master cylinder material Cost: Total of 400,000 yen for producing 10 prototypes (material) ◆ Dramatic cost reduction when the quantity of prototypes produced exceeds 5! ◆ Comparison with machined parts made from aluminum extrusions (reference example based on our company) (Quantity) (Cost reduction rate compared to machined parts) 5 pieces 8% 10 pieces 43% 20 pieces 67% 50 pieces 74% Please check the PDF for more details.
