Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

Process: Molten metal is poured into a preheated, lubricated steel mold. The metal fills the mold cavity naturally due to gravity, cools, and solidifies (typically in minutes). The part is then ejected, and the mold is reused.

Materials: Aluminum is common due to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity, ideal for lighting components. Zinc alloys like Zamak are also used for decorative or smaller parts.

Molds: Reusable steel dies, often coated to extend lifespan, are more durable than sand casting molds but less complex than HPDC dies.

Equipment: Simple tilting or stationary molds, with machines typically smaller than HPDC’s 180T–3000T presses.
