Why Zinc Die Casting Beats Plastic and Aluminium for High Precision Parts
Many product teams start with plastic because the quote looks friendly. Then the field failures show up. You see warping under heat. You see cracking after UV exposure. You see assembly drift that turns a clean CAD model into a rework party. At SSOSS Cast, we see this pattern most often in electronics housings, connector […]
Does plastic injection moulding beat aluminium for small precision parts
When engineers default to aluminium for a small part, it is usually not because aluminium is best. It is because aluminium feels safe. For parts under roughly 50 grams, aluminium die casting often triggers a chain reaction. Extra draft compromises geometry. Tiny features wear. Cosmetic surfaces need blasting or coating. Threads and datums still need […]
Zinc Die Casting: When It Beats Aluminium for Small Precision Parts
Singapore OEM teams often default to Aluminium for housings and micro components. On CAD this seems harmless. On the production floor it becomes one of the most common cost leaks we see. Parts under 50 grams that demand ±0.05 mm or tighter should not start with A380 by default. Many Aluminium problems are actually material […]
Aluminium Die Casting: How To Design Parts That Are Actually Manufacturable
Singapore OEM teams do not lose money on alloy choice. They lose it on parts that look fine in CAD but fight the mold every single shot. Warpage, porosity and rework hours all start at the design stage. Many casting problems are actually design problems that could have been fixed before cutting steel. At Ssoss […]
