Choosing a Die Casting Supplier-Technical Capability & Design Support

Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Do they offer simulation reports (e.g., MAGMASOFT)? A top-tier supplier uses flow analysis to predict air entrapment, cold shuts, and thermal hotspots before a single piece of steel is cut.

Machine Tonnage: Ensure their press capacity matches your part size. Running a large part on a small machine leads to poor integrity (porosity), while running a small part on an oversized machine is cost-inefficient.

Secondary Operations: Can they handle CNC machining, shot blasting, painting, or assembly in-house? In-house finishing reduces lead times and prevents "finger-pointing" if a defect is discovered after machining.
