Injection Molding and Die Casting

Die Casting

Dalatec has an effective supply chain of sources for die-casting:

Injecting or forcing melted metal into a hardened metal mold, called a die.

Die casting has its advantage for allowing greater dimensional accuracy, thinner walls, complex shapes, and higher production rates.

Die casting is however, limited to metals with lower melting points (normally no higher than copper-based alloys).

Injection Molding

Dalatec effectively sources out injection molding using the following type of materials:

• Silicones
• Fluoropolymers
• Thermoplastics
• Resins

We can also potentially support engineered resins that have to be molded.

In addition, Dalatec can supply custom rubber products such as packing, sealing, buffers, o-rings, and shock absorbers from sheets or blocks of rubber materials.

These rubber pieces are machines (cut) to spec and are ideal if tooling costs and turn around time are a consideration.

This is most beneficial if engineers have to make a quick design change.
