What is Mold Manufacturing?
Mold manufacturing is the core of the die-casting process, involving the transformation of design specifications into a physical mold. Molds play a critical role in die casting, shaping molten aluminum alloy into high-precision metal parts. A well-designed mold ensures product consistency, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality, directly impacting production efficiency and cost management.
