Complete Manufacturing Process

DFM Review & Tooling Engineering

Our engineering team reviews your 2D drawings (PDF/DWG) and 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES) prior to tooling release:
• Evaluation of wall thickness consistency, draft angles, parting lines, and ejection locations.
• Identification of critical sealing faces and machined features to set optimal machining allowances.
• Mold flow simulation to predict and eliminate gas porosity, shrinkage, and cold shuts.

High-Pressure Aluminum Die Casting

Automated liquid metal dosing and robotic extraction ensure thermal stability and cycle consistency.
Precise control over filling speed, injection pressure, and die cooling to minimize internal defects.

 

 

 

 

Precision CNC Machining & Secondary Operations

High-speed CNC face milling for critical mating and sealing surfaces.
Precision boring, reaming, drilling, and tapping for mounting holes, sensor ports, and seal bores.
Optimized datum setups to guarantee true position tolerances across complex hole patterns.

Cleaning, Surface Finishing & Testing

Automated deburring, washing, and chip clearing to meet strict technical cleanliness standards.
Optional conversion coatings, anodizing, shot blasting, or specialized surface treatments.
Integrated leak testing for fluid and oil chamber integrity before final packaging.

FAQ

 

Q: What details are required to receive an accurate quotation?

A: Please provide 2D engineering drawings (PDF with tolerances/GD&T), 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES), preferred aluminum alloy grade, estimated annual production volume (EAU), and specific quality/testing requirements.

Q: How do you control porosity in critical sealing zones?

A: We mitigate porosity through mold flow simulation, optimized gating/overflow design, real-time pressure monitoring, and vacuum-assisted die casting where required. Critical sealing faces undergo non-destructive testing, CMM verification, or leak testing.

Q: Can you provide complete PPAP documentation for automotive projects?

A: Yes. We fully support automotive quality requirements and can provide complete PPAP Level 3 documentation packages, including material certificates, CMM dimension reports, PFMEA, Control Plan, and Cpk analysis.

Q: What is the typical lead time for prototype samples and production tooling?

A: Tooling development and initial prototype casting typically take 35 to 45 days depending on component complexity, followed by 1 to 2 weeks for sample machining, CMM inspection, and sample dispatch.

Q: How do you ensure product traceability and safe transport?

A: Each component or batch is marked with unique traceability identifiers linked to raw material heats and production inspection logs. Custom protective packaging (EPE foam trays, VCI anti-rust bags, export pallets) is used to prevent physical damage and corrosion during ocean or air freight.
