We often get one question from new customers: What kind of parts can your factory actually make? That’s exactly what we’ll answer in this post — with real examples, data, and clear categories. Whether you’re in automotive, energy, or lighting, we’ll show you what’s possible with aluminum die casting and how we handle it.
Why Aluminum Die Casting Is a Preferred Process for Part Manufacturing
When your part needs to be lightweight, strong, repeatable, and cost-efficient in large quantities, aluminum die casting is usually the best choice. In our factory, we rely on high-pressure die casting (HPDC) to shape aluminum alloys — especially ADC12, A380, and EN AC-46000 — into precise parts with tolerances as tight as ±0.05 mm.
This process allows complex geometries and thin walls (as thin as 1.5 mm) while maintaining mechanical strength. Compared to CNC machining, which cuts away material, die casting directly forms the shape — faster and less wasteful.
Categories of Aluminum Die Casting Parts We Supply
We serve a broad range of industries, and below are some of the aluminum parts we regularly produce:
| Industry | Typical Die-Cast Parts |
|---|---|
| Automotive | Motor housings, gearbox covers, ECU enclosures |
| Energy | Battery enclosures, inverter shells, cooling fins |
| Medical | Pump casings, equipment handles, control shells |
| Lighting | LED lamp bodies, fixture frames, aluminum bases |
| Industrial Tools | Connector shells, brackets, enclosure panels |
| Consumer Products | Cookware handles, motor shells, structural covers |
These are just examples. Most of our parts are custom-designed by clients, and we support both OEM and ODM projects.

We’re happy to share samples and case studies with qualified inquiries.
What Tolerances and Alloys Do We Support?
We usually work with the following aluminum alloys:
| Alloy | Typical Use Case | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ADC12 | Automotive, consumer electronics | Great fluidity, common in Asia |
| A380 | Energy, lighting, heavy-duty equipment | Good strength-to-weight balance |
| EN AC-46000 | Medical, EU-certified applications | Compliant with European standards |
Standard tolerance is ±0.1 mm for most general parts. For precision parts, we can achieve ±0.05 mm, especially when post-CNC is combined. Threads, inserts, and fine ribs are no issue under the right design.
From Drawing to Delivery: How to Start a Project with Us
Working with us is straightforward. Here’s our typical project flow:
- Receive your drawings or samples
- Review and confirm manufacturability
- Tooling and mold production (2–4 weeks)
- Sample production & approval
- Mass production (MOQ: 500–1,000 pcs depending on size)
- Quality inspection & packing
- Shipping (by sea or air)
We support CAD formats like STEP, IGES, DWG, and can even assist with DFM (Design for Manufacturing) optimization.
Typical lead time from mold approval to mass production is 3–5 weeks, depending on volume.
