2026 Die Casting Tooling Transfer Special

Kinetic Die Casting Company in California has a special offer to our current die casting customers and our new die casting customers. Some of our customers buy castings from a different die casting source other than us. Sometimes there are problems with that that other die casting part source with die casting part quality or delivery of die casting parts of several weeks. It would be a great idea to send Kinetic Die Casting Company that die casting tooling for better quality of faster part deliveries, but it is a difficult decision to make. So many questions: How do you get die casting prices? Are the Kinetic Die Casting Company better quality parts more expensive? Is faster die casting parts delivery more costly? We have your answers.

Tooling for Die Casting

Tooling for Die Casting is also known as die casting tooling and die casting molds. The tooling for die casting is constructed from steel and is hardened to 40 plus Rockwell. The steel is cut using mill cutters and using an EDM (Electronic Discharge Machining) process. The die casting mold usually takes more than six weeks to create, many times it may take ten or more for larger or more complex die casting molds or tools.

The area of the die cast tooling that creates the form of the part casting (part) is called the die cavity. The die cavity has the inverse shape of the part casting, like a muffin pan. The cavity is usually inside the “cavity insert” a square block of steel that will fit inside a mold base. There are two inserts for each tool, one for the “hot side” and one for the “ejector side”. These inserts are typically the same size in height and width and can vary in depth, depending on the part cavity depth.

The inserts are mounted in a “Die Mold Base” that is much larger than the set of inserts. The hot side of the moldbase has a hole where the molten metal is injected into the die through a cylinder (shot cylinder) pushed with a shot piston. The ejector side of the moldbase has an ejector plate with pins, known as ejector pins, these ejector pins push the completed part casting out of the cavity.

The cost of the die casting tooling is the responsibility of the customer. Sometimes tooling inserts are sold to a customer to save the cost of making die casting tooling. The cost of the moldbase is born by the die casting company.

Lost Die Casting Tooling

Twice in the last two weeks, Kinetic Die Casting Company was contacted to see if a lost die casting tool was in our inventory. Two die casting companies closed and the customer did not get their die casting tooling before the die casting company disappeared.

In each case, the customer needed 100 to 150 die casting parts but did not have the die cast tool. In both cases, we had to price a new 12×15 Unit Die Casting Tool for $17,000 and the die casting parts for around $10 each. That would cost the customer about $123 each for 150 die casting parts. That is a crazy price for a lost die casting tool.

Die Casting Mold Bases and Tooling 2026

die casting machine gifKinetic Die Casting owns several Die Casting Tooling Mold Bases that we use to produce aluminum die casting parts. These die cast mold bases are convenient for use for customers who own die casting tooling inserts but not a die cast mold base to use in a die casting machine. Some of the moldbases we own are as small as 12″ by 12″ and are as large as 24″ by 24″. Kinetic Die Casting also owns DME unit dies and MUD bases. DME unit dies are available in many sizes.

    Kinetic Die Casting primarily uses three (3) DME Unit Die sizes:

  • 10″ x 12″ DME Unit Die
  • 12″ x 15″ DME Unit Die
  • 15″ x 18″ DME Unit Die

Kinetic Die Casting will mount “customer owned” die cast tooling inserts into our mold bases so we can produce aluminum die casting parts. We can mount inserts ranging in sizes from 3″ to 20″ and all sizes in between. If a customer contacts us and they own die casting tooling inserts only, we can make parts for them. We have also made die cast tooling inserts for customers that will fit our mold bases. The tooling inserts are many types, like:

Die Casting Mold Bases

Die Casting Tooling is the greatest cost barrier to producing aluminum die cast Custom Metal Parts. The die cast die mold base is a very large percentage of the die cast tool cost. Kinetic Die Casting uses our die casting mold bases to save money for our customers, so they can get the die casting parts they need.
