Sales Cycle for Die Casting

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

The Aluminum Die Casting Sales Cycle, from concept to production, takes about a year.

Usually, a die casting design engineer has a concept of a new aluminum die casting product. It could take three to six months to work out all the “bugs” in the design, like undercuts, thin or thick wall sections and draft to dimensional tolerances.

Then the die casting engineer sends his design to a buyer that solicits quotations from aluminum die casting companies for diecast tooling and aluminum die cast part prices. This proposal process could take a month to decide on which proposal to take.

A purchase order for die casting tooling is placed with the aluminum diecasting company supplier. Die casting tooling takes about 12 weeks to complete and samples are made.

When the tooling is complete, samples of aluminum diecast parts are made from the tooling to verify completion and to dimensionally check the diecast parts for errors. This process can take a month to approve the aluminum part samples.

Die casting aluminum part production will be shipped about two or three weeks after sample approval.
