Magnesium die castings have numerous benefits. These advantages are listed below:
Magnesium die casting is the manufacturing process of injecting molten magnesium into a mold to create parts. The process is similar to casting processes, where the liquid material is poured into a cavity and takes on the shape of the desired product. The cavity itself is the negative shape of the intended product. In magnesium die-casting, magnesium alloys are melted either in a die-casting machine or in a separate furnace. The molten material is then poured and allowed to solidify in the mold (gravity-feed casting) or forced into the mold and held at high pressure by a hydraulic press (pressure die casting). When sufficient time has passed for the molten material to take on the shape of the intended product and solidify, the mold opens, and the part is removed, either automatically or manually.
This is a lens we did for a famous automotive lighting company. Before they reached out to BESTA, they did testing with numbers of other prototype companies. The parts they received looked brilliant at first glance, but as soon as they go for light simulation testing, none of them were able to hit the mark.
The reason? Well, simply because the prototypes from these other services were not accurate enough. So, they thought they would have to outsource from Europe. However, when they approached the BESTA team, the company soon discovered that they had finally found a service provider that could meet their needs.
