Aluminum Parts: Engineering Services That Transform Ideas into Precision Die Casting Parts

Engineering Services That Transform Ideas into Precision Die Casting Parts –

Kinetic Die Casting Company: Engineering Services That Transform Ideas into Precision Parts. The difference between a functional prototype and a production-ready component often hinges on one critical phase: engineering. At Kinetic Die Casting Company in North Hollywood, California, engineering isn't an afterthought—it's the foundation of every part that leaves the facility at 6918 Beck Avenue. With over three decades of expertise, Kinetic's in-house engineering services bridge the gap between concept and casting, ensuring clients receive parts that are not just manufacturable, but optimized for performance, cost, and scalability.
From initial Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews to advanced finite element analysis (FEA) and rapid prototyping, Kinetic's engineers work as an extension of your team—turning complex challenges into streamlined solutions.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Building Success into Every Blueprint
The journey begins long before molten aluminum meets steel. Kinetic's DFM process scrutinizes every CAD file with a die caster's eye, identifying potential issues before tooling is cut.

"We don't just build what you draw—we build what works," says Kinetic's lead engineer.

Key DFM focus areas include:

Wall thickness uniformity to prevent shrinkage and warping
Draft angles optimized for ejection and die longevity
Radii and fillets to reduce stress concentrations
Undercut elimination or strategic slide integration
Gate and runner placement for balanced fill and minimal porosity

Clients receive a detailed DFM report within 48 hours of CAD submission—complete with redline markups, cost-saving suggestions, and cycle time estimates. One aerospace client reduced part weight by 18% and tooling costs by $12,000 after Kinetic redesigned ribbing and boss structures during DFM.

Material Selection & Alloy Optimization
Not all aluminum is created equal. Kinetic's metallurgical engineers guide material selection based on:

Mechanical requirements (tensile strength, elongation, hardness)
Environmental exposure (corrosion, temperature extremes)
Secondary operations (machining, plating, powder coating)

Popular casting alloys include:
A380 – Excellent fluidity, pressure tightness – Housings, enclosures, valve bodies
A360 – Superior corrosion resistance – Marine, outdoor electronics
A383 – High dimensional stability – Precision instruments
Zinc #3 – Ultra-fine detail, plating readiness – Connectors, hardware
