Real Parts. Really Fast.
With the very economical PROTO DIE method, 1 to 3,000 diecast parts can be manufactured within a short time.
The diecast method for prototypes developed by G.W.P. enables thin-wall prototypes to be made of aluminum, zinc or magnesium with low tooling costs.
You are delivered prototypes and pilot productions manufactured using a diecast method which yields properties and dimensional tolerances normally found in series production! PROTO DIE prototypes correspond to cast parts made from classic serial production dies.
| Technical data |
| Delivery time | Minimum of 22 work days |
| Material | Aluminium, zinc, magnesium, brass |
| Feasible number of parts | 1 – 3,000 parts (maximum tool life) |
| Tolerances | General tolerances for die casting. Fittings: possible with cnc processing |
| Max. dimension | Approx. 300 mm body diagonals R=√(a2+b2+c2) |
| Max. clamping force | 500 t |
| Finish | Fine surface (up to 3.2 - 6.3 Rz) |
| Finishing | CNC machining, barrel finishing, painting, powder coating, galvanizing, protective anodizing (Al) |
| High suitability | - For very high quality thin-wall metal prototypes
- when you need series-like properties (tests)
- when a die casting series is planned afterward (cost advantages)
- for economical pilot lots and small series |
Typical examples
- Automotive: pre-series
- Machine building industry: small series
- Industrial electronics: prototypes for testing of a new product
