What is tooling in a die castings project?

Tooling used in die castings projects come in many different types of dimensional sizes and shapes. Die casting tooling is usually produced through steel material and can weighs hundreds of pounds.

Die cast tooling dies are bigger than the molding inserts. After the customer’s OEM automotive casting is produced, a die casting trimming machine referred to as a “trim die” is operated to scrap the excess aluminum handing from the die cast parts.

These die casting trimming dies can save 10% or more in the part price by speeding up the production process. Die casting trim dies slice off the excess aluminum from die cast parts. The trim die sits or is mounted into a trim press that hydraulically forces the two halves of the trim die together with several tons of pressure.
