DESIGN
Whether you are new to designing die castings (or an old hand at the business), or interested in converting a part (or assembly of parts) made using another process into a die casting, you may benefit from our suggestions on how to improve a part's quality or cost. TCDC is able to provide design assistance to help you understand the basics of die casting, convert a part to die cast from another process, or make the detailed tweaks necessary to reach your target price, or hold pressure tightness specification.
The following Technical Resources may also provide valuable information for designing your part.
