Lakeside Casting Solutions is another preferred American supplier of contract manfacturing services you will find only at a Design-2-Part tradeshow at https://www.d2p.com.
Lakeside Casting Solutions is a full-service zinc die casting company dedicated to providing solutions that reduce your costs and improve the quality of your components.
Design engineers turn to zinc die castings for component parts because the manufacturing process combines precision and cost effectiveness with the exceptional mechanical and physical properties of zinc alloys. Below are just a few of the reasons why you should consider zinc die castings instead of plastic moldings, stampings, castings, or forgings from Lakeside Casting Solutions when designing your new product.
Zinc die casting vs. plastic molding
Zinc die casting produces stronger parts with closer tolerances that have greater stability and durability. Zinc die cast parts have greater resistance to temperature extremes than molded plastic parts and superior electrical properties.
Zinc die castings vs. sand castings
Zinc die castings produce parts with thinner walls, closer dimensional limits and smoother surfaces. Production is faster and labor costs per casting are lower. Finishing costs are also less.
Zinc die casting vs. permanent mold casting
Zinc die casting offers the same advantages versus permanent molding as it does compared with sand casting.
Zinc die castings vs. forgings
Zinc die castings produce more complex shapes with closer tolerances, thinner walls and lower finishing costs. Cast coring holes are not available with forging.
Zinc die casting vs. stamping
Zinc die casting produces complex shapes with variations possible in section thickness. One zinc die casting may replace several stampings, resulting in reduced assembly time.
Zinc die castings vs. screw machine products
Zinc die castings produces shapes that are difficult or impossible from bar or tubular stock, while maintaining tolerances without tooling adjustments. Zinc die castings require fewer operations and reduce waste and scrap.
The double block rigging technique is a great technique for rigging large/heavy pieces as it helps to spread the force of the piece(s) being rigged. It uses more rope in the system to help absorb energy, using more components to help spread the load and reduce the shock load on the stem its self.
