1. Die Casting Parts Weight Reduction
DFM
The goal is to reduce the volume of material for components in order to save cost and weight in die casting. The more metal the component contains, the more time it will take to fill the die cavity and to cool the metal prior to ejection. We can design pockets to make the cross section thinner, and use ribs to strengthen if necessary. The locations of pockets need to be considered carefully, as they can sometimes cause non-constant shrinkage, which may affect components' accuracy.
