Neway offers comprehensive engineering consultation services focused on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and material selection, helping customers optimize parts for performance, cost efficiency, and streamlined production. Our die casting engineering team evaluates geometry, wall thickness, draft angles, and mold flow feasibility to minimize defects and tooling complexity.
Our DFM support includes:
Parting Line and Ejection Optimization: Ensuring clean separations and reliable ejection for components such as A380 aluminum or Zamak 5 zinc.
Wall Thickness Analysis: Recommending uniform wall structures (typically 1.5–3.5 mm) to reduce warpage, porosity, and cycle times.
Draft Angle Recommendations: Optimizing draft angles (commonly 0.5° to 2°) to ensure smooth demolding and prevent surface defects.
These improvements directly reduce tooling wear, shorten cycle times, and decrease part rejection rates.
We help customers choose from a wide range of die casting alloys, including:
Aluminum Alloys: Such as ADC12 for corrosion-resistant lightweight parts or EN AC-43500 (AlSi10Mg) for high strength and superior thermal performance.
Zinc Alloys: Including Zamak 3 and ZA-8 for excellent fluidity, dimensional stability, and smooth surface finishes.
Copper Alloys: Such as Brass 360 or Silicon Bronze C65500 when high wear resistance, conductivity, or durability is required.
With early-stage engineering input, customers benefit from:
Reduced time to production
Fewer design iterations
Optimized tooling lifespan
Improved mechanical performance and surface finish compatibility
