What Is the Importance of Prototypes in Die Casting Manufacturing?
Prototypes are very important in aluminum die casting manufacturing. In an era that clients demand perfect products and high standard services, manufacturers need to attach the manufacturing of prototypes with all seriousness.
As the leading aluminum die casting prototype manufacturer in China, Sunrise Metal have created highly effective systems that enable us to manufacture perfect prototypes that meet our clients’ expectations.
The following are some of the advantages of prototypes in aluminum die casting manufacturing:
- Prototypes provide an accurate and precise physical representation of the desired final product.
- They help to detect defects in your model so that the final product can be perfected. This helps to avoid the unnecessary cost that would have been incurred if defective products are produced in mass production.
- It gives you the opportunity to improve your final product. When prototypes are made, product developers are able to carefully evaluate and give positive feedback. The useful insights or suggestions from team members developing the product can be used to improve the final product.
Also, you can send your prototype to your intended users or customers for them to test and give your positive feedback. The feedback from your clients is so important since they are the ones going to use your final product. Your intended users can give you useful recommendations to help you improve on your final product after testing your prototype.
- It saves time, cost, and effort.
A prototype is just the first example of the intended product to be produced and changes can be done to improve it any time in the manufacturing process. Because only one or a few prototypes of the final product is produced, any changes or corrections done do not affect the manufacturer severely in terms of time, cost, and effort. The time, effort, and money used to correct prototype defects are insignificant compared to that spent on products during mass production.
- Prototypes help manufacturers to better understand their product idea and final product. This is because prototypes convert product ideas into physical product forms that can be seen, touched, felt, and tested.
- Prototypes help to validate a product idea before mass production. When the prototype meets the intended product requirements after testing and evaluation, manufacturers become convinced that their product idea is valid.
What Are The Advantages Of Aluminum Die Casting Prototypes?
Aluminum die casting prototypes have many advantages over other prototypes because of Aluminum’s unique properties. The following are some of the advantages of aluminum die casting prototypes over CNC machined prototypes:
- The same prototype material is used for mass production in the future and this makes the prototype to contain the same features as the final product. This will help you have a very good idea about how your final product will look and perform.
- The same process for creating an aluminum die casting prototype is used during mass production. This helps maintain consistency during mass production.
- The characters and specifications of the aluminum die casting prototype is the same as the mass production parts. It helps you to save costs from the request of hundreds of pieces.
- Aluminum die casting prototypes can be used as small batch production that can be launched to the market, therefore saving you a lot of time that mass production would take.

Sunrise Metal uses two main technologies for manufacturing Aluminum die casting prototypes.
- Rapid prototyping
- Rapid Tooling and Die casting.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is a technology used for making aluminum prototypes at a faster rate.
Rapid prototyping uses the latest technology to make physical models from a CAD file. It is a great way of producing high quality and precise aluminum prototypes quickly.
The Different Types of Rapid Prototyping.
There are two types of rapid prototyping technology, they are:
- additive prototyping
- subtractive rapid prototyping
But there are many technologies under these two rapid prototyping types. They are listed below:
CNC machining
Selective Laser Sintering
Fused Deposition Modeling
Laminated Object Manufacturing
Solid ground curing
Selective laser melting
You need to note that all the rapid prototyping technologies listed above are additive manufacturing methods except CNC machining.
Even though the additive methods are numerous, they have some drawbacks and material restrictions.
Rapid Prototyping Technologies Used By Sunrise Metal
Sunrise Metal use CNC machining for aluminum rapid prototyping. But we are not limited to CNC machining. We also use other rapid prototyping technologies to give our clients options that suit their projects.
CNC Machining Rapid Prototyping
The CNC machining is a subtractive rapid prototyping technology whereby a prototype is machined from a solid material. Material is removed from metal or workpiece by the CNC machine to form a desired prototype. Different materials can be used for this purpose.
At Sunrise, we use CNC machining technology to produce high quality, precise and accurate aluminum die casting prototypes for our clients. Depending on your prototype requirement, we can choose a suitable material for CNC machining. Some of the materials used are aluminum, magnesium, zinc, etc.
Rapid Tooling Technology
This technology uses the CNC machine for mass-producing prototypes. This is a very good method for manufacturers who need statistical data for their products.
It is important to note that rapid tooling is not the same as rapid prototyping, even though they use the same technology. In simple terms, rapid tooling is used for producing molds at a faster rate.
Sunrise mainly used rapid tooling to manufacture precise molds for aluminum die casting. Also known as production tooling, rapid tooling can also be used to produce higher volumes of prototypes or products for testing.
If your goal is to produce low volumes prototypes or parts, you need to use rapid prototyping.
For higher volumes of prototypes or parts, you need to create the molds using rapid tooling technology, then use the molds to produce multiple prototypes through die casting.
The accuracy of these multiple prototypes would be the same as the final product, so they are perfect to test your products and get statistical data.
Sunrise Metal, China’s leading aluminum die casting prototype manufacturer provides both services and we will be happy to serve you using the technology of your choice.
We have a highly advanced rapid tooling technology that makes us capable to produce precise molds for quality aluminum die casting prototypes.
What Machines Do You Use For Making Aluminum Die Casting Prototypes?
As China’s leading aluminum die casting manufacturer, we use highly advanced machines for production that ensures the accuracy of both prototypes and final products.
These are some of the machines we use for tooling or manufacturing molds for aluminum die casting:
High Precision CNC machine
The high precision CNC machine is mainly used for rapid tooling and parts production.
Sunrise Metals use the DMU monoBLOCK 5 – axis CNC machine to create highly precise and efficient molds quickly.
Our highly powered DMU monoBLOCK 5- axis CNC machine makes it possible to create very complex molds with high accuracy in the shortest time.
The DMU monoBLOCK 5 – axis CNC machine has large doors that ensure access to the work area. It has extensive cooling measures and multi-sensors. It has many tables that make room for turning and milling. The machine is automated which makes it suitable for specific automation processes.
The molds created by the high precision CNC machine are used for producing aluminum die casting prototypes or parts through die casting.
The prototypes produced through die casting go through a secondary process called CNC machining where unwanted parts on the prototype are removed. This is to enhance the smoothness and accuracy of the prototype or part produced.
The CNC machined prototypes or parts are then given surface finishing treatments. We will go into details of these processes later in this guide.
Coordinate Measuring Machine
Sunrise uses this machine to take an accurate measurement of molds using sensors. It has the ability to take measurements of objects that cannot be reached. It’s inbuilt 3 axis system enables it to take measurements in all directions.
High-Pressure Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine.
The cold chamber pressure die casting machine is used for casting aluminum prototypes using molds created by rapid tooling.
The cold chamber pressure casting machine has the following components:
- Cold chamber where the melted aluminum metal is poured into
- Hydraulic system with a cylinder and a piston. This piston pushes the molten metal into the mold cavity.
- Mold cavity that is made of steel. The melted aluminum metal takes the shape of the mold cavity after it’s been introduced into it.
- Ejector that is operated to eject or remove the die casting or solidified aluminum prototype.
What Are The Processes Involved in Manufacturing Aluminum Die Casting Prototypes?
There are two main processes involved in manufacturing aluminum die casting prototypes. They are:
- Rapid Tooling/Rapid Mold Creation.
- Die Casting Aluminum Prototype.
Rapid Tooling/Rapid Mold Creation
This is where the mold or die for the prototype is created.
- Design Aluminum Prototype Tool/ Mode.
The first step in creating an aluminum die casting mold is to design the mold. When designing the mold, specifications like draft, fillets, parting lines, boss and ribs need are taken into consideration to ensure a high-quality mold is manufactured.
- Create a Model for Aluminum Prototype Tool Design.
After designing the mold for the prototype, you need to create a 3D model of the mold using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technique.
The last step in aluminum die casting mold creation is rapid tooling using a DMU monoBLOCK 5 – axis CNC machine. This is where the mold for die casting is created quickly with the DMU monoBLOCK CNC machine. The high precision automated CNC machine converts solid steel into the shape of the mold design.
Die Casting Aluminum Prototype.
After manufacturing the mold, the next step is to make the aluminum die casting prototype using the cold chamber die casting machine.
The mold created by rapid tooling is properly fixed into a cold chamber die casting machine.
Melted aluminum metal is poured into the cold chamber. The mold or die at this stage is closed.
The piston in the cold chamber pushes the metal into the mold cavity under high pressure. The mold is opened during this process. The metal is held in position by the piston until it becomes solid.
The manufactured aluminum die casting prototype undergoes secondary processes like grinding, heat treatment, and surface finishing.
What Is The Minimum Quantity of Aluminum Die Casting Prototypes You Produce?
Sunrise Metal accepts low to medium volume orders with a high mix. But because of our desire to help our customers, we accept a minimum of 1 pcs of aluminum die casting prototype requests. This is due to our commitment to be a one-stop solution for aluminum die casting.
