Die casting design for automotive component involves of these considerations in which include of the cost, performance, manufacturability and quality control. The design is brainstorm and innovation thought on engineering design,and requires that the designer has enough advature spirit and maintain the patient that still keep the continueous modification and improvement.Wether zinc die casting or aluminum die casting, is directly determined by the specific requirements of the die casting component.
Core Design Principles Of Die Casting Design For Automotive Component
Die casting manufacturer provides high performance die casting components to meet the specific requirements of functions and applications of the cast parts. designer should follow core design principles of die casting design strictly, and design the reliable, cost-efficiency, strong integrated structure die casting components. Complying with the below design contraints, with successful design experience and diligent, create unprecedent design drawing.
- Wall Thickness Design: Focus on the metal die casting component, which should has the integrated structure. Wall thickness design is much enssential, designing proper wall thickness makes the cast part less waste and integrated structure.
- Fillets and Radii: The cast part should has fillet and radii and convenient to the full filling of the metal flow.
- Draft Angles: Enough easy to eject the cast part, avoid stuck the die and the residue on the core of the die.
- Rib and Boss Design: Reinforce the integrated structure of the cast part and other assemblies.
- Parting Line Design: More thin and less flashing reduces the post-processing of the cast part.
Cost Of Die Casting Design For Automotive Component
The cost of die casting design for automotive component produces from the material cost, labor and time cost and the cost of machining. The design process is time-consuming and much labor power. The main show the below main points in detail.
Product Design & Engineering
Simulation & Validation
Tooling (Die) Cost

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
Design for maunfacturability means require high effective die casting process, which involves of the design of high performance steel tool manufacturing, production line automation and temperature management strategy. These factors determine the production abillity and acquired profits of the enterprise.
