Die casting processes can often deliver products that can be used “as cast”, i.e. no additional manufacturing activities are required, and the parts are immediately ready for use. Nonetheless, there are situations where supplementary treatments are necessary to optimise the casting’s performance and capabilities. In these instances, opting for a ‘one-stop-shop’ supplier that performs both die casting and post-cast operations is the most efficient and reliable solution.
