Sunter manufacturer die casters are ideal partners for your project. Because they are well versed in the metalcasting process, they can interpret your designs correctly and contribute quality-enhancing, cost-cutting solutions to the design challenges you face. A Sunter white paper shows how collaborative engineering can reduce costs for a given part anywhere from 50 per cent to 80 per cent, while improving production efficiency.

The resources in this section will help you understand die casting's benefits, partner with expert die casters and create designs that take full advantage of the many benefits the die casting process has to offer. We've also offered some examples to illustrate this process.

Rapid tooling ...

Manufacturers seeking a competitive edge in today's global economy are increasingly turning to rapid prototyping to bring products faster to market. As part of the rapid prototyping process, die casters are using a variety of rapid tooling methods to produce pre-production models, limited runs of production parts and even production quality tools capable of running up to 100,000 parts in some circumstances. A Sunter white paper shows how rapid tools provides production and cost advantages.

Zinc Contaminants ...

Are you getting what you paid for? The best die casters today are requiring the highest quality zinc alloys in order to manufacture dependable and reliable zinc parts. The slightest levels of contamination above ASTM levels in the finished alloy ingot will most likely lead to unacceptable quality. Requiring certification of the alloy and buying from known, reliable sources is the best way to ensure the integrity of zinc die cast products. This Sunter white paper addresses the concerns of low integrity die casting suppliers producing low quality zinc die castings.
