Post Processing
Secondary Operations Overview
Finished die cast parts often require CNC machining, surface finishing, inspection and assembly planning.
CNC Post-Machining
Critical features are machined after casting when the application requires controlled interfaces.
- Threads, mounting holes and bearing seats
- Sealing surfaces and datum features
- Flatness areas and critical dimensions
Surface Finishing
Finishing routes are reviewed according to alloy, appearance, corrosion protection and assembly needs.
- Painting, powder coating and robotic spraying
- Cleaning, passivation and surface preparation
- Leak testing, screen printing and assembly support

Decision Guide
Die Casting vs CNC Machining
Use this comparison to decide whether the project should move toward tooling and casting or remain CNC-machined.
| Factor | Die Casting | CNC Machining |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | Medium to high volume production | Prototype and low-volume production |
| Tooling Cost | Requires mold investment | No casting mold required |
| Unit Cost | Lower unit cost at production volume | Higher unit cost for high volume |
| Geometry | Complex near-net metal geometry | Machined geometry from stock material |
| Precision | Critical features often CNC post-machined | Suitable for tight tolerance features |
| Secondary Machining | Used for threads, sealing surfaces and datum features | Main manufacturing method |
| Best Use Case | Repeat OEM metal parts with integrated features | Early validation, simple geometry or precision-dominant parts |

FAQ
Die Casting Frequently Asked Questions
Which alloy is suitable for my part?
Alloy choice depends on weight, geometry, detail level, strength, finishing requirements and volume. FSD reviews aluminum, zinc and selected magnesium alloy projects before quotation.
Aluminum vs Zinc die casting?
Aluminum is often selected for lightweight housings, heat sinks and structural parts. Zinc is often selected for smaller precision components requiring fine details and stable production.
Can FSD support CNC post-machining?
Yes. CNC post-machining can support threads, mounting holes, bearing seats, sealing surfaces, datum features and other critical areas after casting.
How do you control porosity?
Porosity risk is reviewed through DFM, mold-flow analysis, gate and overflow planning, trial validation and inspection planning such as X-Ray inspection when required.
What tooling support is available?
FSD supports mold-flow analysis, mold design, CNC mold machining, EDM, wire EDM, mold assembly, trial casting, mold modification and mold maintenance.
What surface finishes are available?
Finishing can include powder coating, painting, robotic spraying, arc spraying, cleaning, passivation, polishing, grinding and screen printing depending on alloy and application.
What files are required?
Please provide 2D drawings, 3D CAD files, preferred alloy, quantity, tolerance, surface finish, application, pressure-tightness and special inspection requirements.
