Why Engineering Matters in Die Casting?
Industry research shows that over 70% of die casting defects — porosity, shrinkage, deformation, cracking, warpage, dimensional instability — originate from engineering mistakes, not production issues. IEC Mould Strong Casting engineering can help you:
Avoid design-related failures and redesign cost
Early DFM and Moldflow help eliminate hidden risks such as wall thickness issues, flow imbalance, and tolerance conflicts. You avoid redesign loops, shorten development time, and ensure the part is ready for mass production.
Reduce tooling risk and extend tooling life
Optimized gating, cooling, and steel selection make the mold more stable and durable. This reduces early wear, minimizes repairs, and ensures consistent output across the tool’s lifetime.
Increase yield and reduce scrap rate
Correct engineering eliminates porosity, shrinkage, cold shuts, and thermal defects before production begins. With a clean, balanced filling and cooling design, your FPY increases and waste drops dramatically.
Shorten validation cycles
A well-engineered mold reaches dimensional stability faster. Fewer tooling adjustments are needed, helping you move through EVT/DVT/PVT in a much shorter time.
Improve supply chain stability
Strong engineering creates a wide, stable process window that remains consistent across machines, shifts, and suppliers. Your production stays predictable, reducing quality drift and supply chain disruptions.
