What is the minimum and maximum order quantity for low-volume casting?
Minimum and Maximum Order Quantities for Low-Volume Casting
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Our low-volume die casting service typically accommodates minimum order quantities starting as low as 50 units, depending on the selected materials such as Aluminum, Zinc, or Copper. This flexibility supports prototype development and initial product launches, aligning closely with rapid prototyping standards like ASTM E18 for material hardness testing and ISO 2768 for tolerance accuracy.
Maximum Order Quantity
For maximum order quantities in low-volume production, our typical upper limit is approximately 1,000 units per order. However, larger batches can be negotiated based on specific customer requirements, tooling complexity, and material characteristics. We recommend contacting our tool and die creation specialists to optimize tooling durability and manage production efficiency according to NADCA standards.
Factors Influencing Order Quantity
Order quantities can be adjusted based on:
Material Selection: Aluminum and zinc allow greater flexibility, whereas copper alloys may require specialized tooling adjustments.
Complexity of Parts: Highly intricate parts may influence optimal batch sizing.
Surface Treatments: Additional post-processing steps, such as anodizing or powder coating, can impact minimum feasible quantities due to process efficiency.
