Home die casters frequently asked questions

"Ok, but why not use other processes. They're faster."


• Just as rough-cut molds are quicker to create than precision quality molds, this level of accuracy and attention to detail requires time. Our focus has not been on comparing our speeds to competitive processes, but on producing the quality in castings that your industry expects. Clients in the Die-Casting industry have found this trade off acceptable. We have been successful at providing precision castings firms with prototype, pre-production and full production patterns for over nine years.
  
  
  
  "Nice, but there are other Rapid Processes, we can use them and save money."
  
  
• This is a good point, if your customers find other processes acceptable we recommend using them. If however accuracy and detail are required for a specific order, you may want to explore our service. Differentiation in quality seems to be the key factor in gaining repeat clientele both for us, and our Die-Casting partners.

"We couldn't buy Rapid-Cast parts and still be profitable."


• This might be the case. It depends on the job. Rapid-Cast parts win in time and in cost when small complex geometries or highly detailed parts are required prior to final tool design or when pre-production parts are desired. It usually does not win on simple, or larger castings. Your experience best dictates when and if we should be called for that particular job.
