Aluminum Die Casting Parts vs Plastic Injection Molded Parts.
Plastic Injection molding and aluminum die casting are similar in a lot of ways:
- Both require a mold or tool to produce parts.
- The tooling cost is very similar in both industries.
- Both processes inject material into a mold to make parts.
- Both processes can make hundreds or thousands of parts every day.
Plastic Injection Molded Parts

- Plastic Parts weigh less than aluminum die casting parts.
Disadvantages:
- Plastic is not typically biodegradable
- Plastic parts require metal inserts to hold a thread for screws.
- Plastic does not block EMI/RF waves
- Plastic Parts are not as strong.
Aluminum Die Casting Parts
Disadvantages

- Holes can be directly threaded into the parts.
- Features can be machined into aluminum.
- Aluminum has great thermal transference properties.
- Aluminum is a natural conductor of electricity.
- Aluminum material is environmentally friendly and can be recycled easily when done.

Aluminum Sand Cast Parts are sometimes a better choice than Aluminum Die Casting Parts
Aluminum Sand Cast Parts are sometimes a better choice than Aluminum Die Casting Parts
If you want less than 2,000 aluminum parts in your product life cycle, sometimes a part produced by the aluminum sand casting is a better choice for you.
Here are my calculations:
Aluminum Sand Casting Parts
Typical Tooling Cost: $500 – $1500
Typical Part Cost: $12 – $15 each
Cost for 1000 parts: $13,500
Cost for 2000 parts: $25,500
Aluminum Die Casting Parts
Typical Tooling Cost: $10,000 – $12,000
Typical Part Cost: $2.50 – $3.50 each
Cost for 1000 parts: $14,500
Cost for 2000 parts: $17,000
As you can see, the cost is less for an aluminum sand cast part, if you will buy less than 2000 parts. If you feel your product life is more than 2000 parts, you should consider buying aluminum die casting parts.
