Casting Capabilities

If our customers are looking at castings as an option for their component, they must consider the MOQ, NRE (Mold Cost), material, and possible machining after casting. Each casting process has positives and negatives for each of these.

Die Casting
  • MOQ: 500-10K+
  • NRE/Mold: High
  • Part Cost: Low
  • Machining: The majority of the tolerances are as cast at higher tolerances, limit the machining to items like tapped threads
  • Materials: Aluminum ( ADC 12 and ASTM A380 Aluminum including A360.0, 383.0, 384.0 and A413.0), Zinc and Magnesium
Investment Casting (Lost Wax)
  • MOQ: 100-10K
  • NRE/Mold: Medium
  • Part Cost: Medium
  • Machining: The majority of the tolerances are as cast at higher tolerances, limit the machining to items like tapped threads
  • Materials: Aluminum, Steel & Stainless Steel
Sand Casting
  • MOQ: 10-1000
  • NRE/Mold: Low
  • Part Cost: High
  • Machining: The majority of the tolerances  that require medium to high requirements must be machined
  • Materials: Steel ( ASTM A216, WCA, WCB, WCC, and others)(and Alloys), Stainless Steel Bronze, Copper Aluminum, Zinc, and Iron

Additional FULL SERVICE Contact Manufacturing Capabilities

 FULL-SERVICE means the contract manufacturer can provide you with a finished part such as machining, powder coating, silk screening, Plating, and fastener installation. Ionthis is a  “one-stop-shop“. This eliminating having to resend out your part for a secondary process to separate multiple vendors. The significant advantage of this is you now only have one source responsible for your quality and on-time delivery needs. Below are our typical but not limited to capabilities

“Cradle to Grave” CONTRACT MANUFACTURER

Cradle to Grave” means as your product matures, we will continually give you suggestions, (process changes, material changes, sub-assemblies) to reduce your cost giving you an improved sales advantage. An example would be perhaps at the beginning of marketing your product, your volumes are low, and you do not want to make the investment in die-cast molds and tooling and manufacturing a large quantity, 

Ionthis could make your finished prototype part(s) from sand cast or even economically machine the part from a solid metal block. Your NRE investment would be low but the part price might be higher but absorb-able. When your volume gets high enough to justify die-cast Ionthis can move you into a Die Cast. This is “Cradle to Grave”.

For a DFM/Analysis and recommendations of your Die-Cast, Investment Cast, and Sand Cast component or assembly, feel free to contact Ionthis at engr@ionthis.com
