Customized zinc die casting for OEM and ODM projects are highly sought after by more project creaters. In today’s competitive manufacturing market, die casting manufacturers need reliable production methods that combine precision, speed, durability, and cost efficiency. This is especially important for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) projects, where custom die cast parts often play a critical role in final product quality and brand value.
Zinc die casting offers outstanding dimensional accuracy, excellent surface finish, fast production cycles, and the ability to create complex geometries at competitive costs. From automotive hardware and electronic housings to furniture accessories and industrial components, zinc die casting supports a wide range of customized applications. So
What Is Customized Zinc Die Casting ?
Customized zinc die casting is a specific manufacturing process where new customized zinc cast die is designed and manufactured firstly, then molten zinc alloy is injected into the new mold under high pressure. Once the molten zinc fills the cavity, it cools rapidly and solidifies into the required shape. The finished casting is then ejected, trimmed, inspected, and optionally finished with plating, powder coating, polishing, or machining.
Unlike standard off-the-shelf parts, customized zinc die casting focuses on tailor-made components created specifically for OEM brands or ODM product developers.
Our Customized Zinc die Casting For OEM
OEM projects usually involve a customer who already owns the product design, drawings, specifications, and brand. According to their requirements, Ts die casting technology arranges reproducing identical parts consistently over large production volumes. Customer provide their 3d file and drawing or existed prototype to us, and sign the confidential argreement with us, tell us to follow their requirements strictly.
Why OEM Projecter To Choose Us ?
As an exprienced die casting manufacturer, we can save more cost, consistent quality mass prouction for zinc die casting components and brand protection.
Consistent Quality Guarantee
Ts die casting technology had been engaging for die casting process for 15 years, Once tooling is approved, through our automation production lines, zinc die casting can produce thousands or millions of identical parts with repeatable quality.
Lower Unit Cost in Volume Production
Zinc die casting belongs to fast cast cycle, cast part can be formed at fast cooling condition. Low heat consumption and longer tooling life makes more high quality cast part output. Although tooling requires upfront investment, per-part cost becomes very competitive in medium and high quantities.
Brand Protection
OEM customer requires their branded products, and always sign the confidential agreemeet with us, tell us to follow thier requirement strictly, without any disclosure for their information to thirty party, otherwise, all are involved of legal issues.
Our Customized Zinc Die Casting For ODM
ODM projects often begin with an idea, concept, or market need rather than a completed engineering drawing. Ts die casting technology can help them to design the product, optimize structure, build tooling, and produce final parts. The special project is called as “turnkey “project.
How Zinc Die Casting Supports ODM Development
Product Design & Mold and Manufacturing Assistance
Ts die casting technology employed well-skilled engineering team and sophisticated molde technicians, which design and manufacture precision durable steel cast die. Our professional engineering teams can help improve:
- Wall thickness balance
- Draft angle design
- Rib structure strength
- Assembly features
- Surface appearance
- Cost reduction opportunities
Rapid Prototype Support
Before mass production, ODM customers often need prototypes for testing and marketing review. we provide the below rapid prototyping services:
- CNC prototypes
- 3D printed samples
- Soft tooling samples
Fast Transition to Mass Production
Once the design is confirmed, steel die casting molds can be built for stable production. Our well-skilld mold technician select the right tooling steel, through these precision process approaches to manufacturing the physical precision cast die, such as cnc grinding, cnc machining, cnc milling and EDM ect, then arrange to have a trial test and make rapid prototype. Finally, deliver the cast die to mass production. It is fast transition.
Zinc Alloys Commonly Used in Customized Projects
Whenever Zamak, ZA or other special zinc alloys, all follows the requirement of customer and project party. Several zinc alloys are popular in OEM and ODM manufacturing.
Zamak Serial
| Type | Feature | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Zamak 3 | excellent balance of strength, castability, and cost. | Hardware, consumer products and electrics |
| Zamak 5 | Higher strength and hardness than Zamak 3 | Mechanical parts, Automotive fittings and Structural components |
ZA Serial
| Type | Feature | Application |
|---|---|---|
| ZA-8 | 8.5% aluminum content, Good ductility and can use hot chamber die casting | Structural brackets, Industrial mechanical parts |
| ZA-12 | 11% aluminum content, higher Tensile Strength than ZA-8, high hardness, good wear resistance | Stronger than most die-cast aluminum alloys. |
| ZA-27 | 27% aluminum content, high hardness, excellent wear resistance | Suitable for structural & load-bearing parts. |
Special Zinc Alloys
| Type | Feature | Application |
|---|---|---|
| ACuZinc Alloys | Superior creep resistance, High hardness, Better strength than standard zinc alloys | Bushings,Structural hardware and automotive mechanical components |
| EZAC Alloy | High tensile strength, Improved long-term dimensional stability | Automotive housings, Precision electronics components. |
| Zn-Cu (Zinc-Copper) Modified Alloys | additional copper to increase hardness and wear resistance. | Lock hardware, Decorative fittings and Moving mechanical parts. |
