Pressure dies & moulds
Multi-cavity pressure dies and moulds designed around your part's wall sections, draft and gating for clean fill and sound castings.

Die Design & Tooling
Every good casting starts with a good die. Our in-house tool room designs and manufactures pressure dies, moulds, jigs and fixtures — engineered for precision and long tool life, with Design-for-Manufacture input applied before any steel is cut. Share your drawing and we'll review feasibility and quote, usually within one business day.
Why It Matters
The die decides the part
In pressure die casting, the tool defines almost everything downstream — how cleanly metal fills the cavity, where gas and shrinkage go, the surface you get straight from the die, and how consistently every shot repeats. A die that is well designed and well built produces sound, dimensionally stable parts with minimal machining stock; a poorly designed one fights you on every run. That is why we keep tooling in-house rather than outsourcing it.
Because the same team designs the die, casts the part and machines it, feedback flows straight back into the tool. There is one party accountable for the tool and the parts it makes — no finger-pointing between a separate die maker and foundry when something needs tuning.

What We Build
A full tool room under one roof
From the first drawing to a proven, production-ready tool, everything happens on site — and stays maintained here for the life of your programme.
Jigs & fixtures
Purpose-built jigs and fixtures that locate every part the same way, so machining and inspection stay repeatable across the run.
DFM & drawing review
We study your 2D/3D drawing and refine wall thickness, draft, radii and gating up front — cutting risk before the tool is made.
Design for Manufacture
Get the geometry right before the steel is cut
Tooling is a real up-front investment, so it pays to get the part right on paper first. Before we build a die, our team reviews your drawing for the details that decide whether a casting fills and solidifies cleanly:
- Wall thickness — kept uniform and as thin as the part allows for clean fill and minimal porosity.
- Draft & radii — draft on vertical faces for clean ejection, generous fillets to ease metal flow and reduce stress.
- Gating & venting — placed to fill progressively and push gas to vents, for pressure-tight, leak-free parts.
- Machining & post-treatment allowance — planned into the tool so finishing and any heat treatment are accounted for from the start.

One-Stop Advantage
Tooling that feeds straight into casting and machining
Because the tool room sits alongside casting, machining and finishing, your programme moves through one accountable workflow rather than across separate vendors:
- Tool built and proven in-house, then run on our automated pressure die casting machines.
- Dedicated fixtures carry each part into fettling and CNC machining to final tolerance.
- Tools maintained, refurbished and stored here for repeat orders over the life of the part.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems and Six Sigma practices, audited every year.
