Die Casting Family Mold Tooling

Kinetic Die Casting information on family mold tooling for die casting

Family die cast mold tooling is usually built to save money on multiple part types. Family die cast mold tooling consists of a complete die cast mold or die with a few or many different cavity die inserts that run as a single part each cycle or more parts each cycle.

It is the least loved of all die cast tooling types because the family die cast mold tool needs to be removed from the die casting machine completely to change cavity inserts for the next part. This takes time and costs the customer more money because of machine downtime.

Sometimes the family die cast mold tool will have multiple cavities of different sized parts. This will cause problems if the tool is not properly produced.

The quality of parts from a family die cast mold tool varies with the complexity of the parts. With multiple cavities of varying part types, it is difficult to balance the part quantities in sets.

Kinetic Die Casting makes parts for our customers using family die cast mold tooling. If this is the type of tooling you own, we will be happy to produce your aluminum die cast parts.
