SkillsProto runs die casting cells sized for low- and mid-volume programs: 160–800 ton machines, molds built in 15–25 days, and in-house CNC finishing so castings arrive machined, sealed and ready for assembly.
Aluminum die casting: A380, ADC12, A360, 6061-style alloys
Zinc die casting: Zamak 3, Zamak 5 — thin walls, tight tolerance
Machining after casting: faces, bores, threads, sealing surfaces
Impregnation for pressure-tight castings
Powder coating, anodizing, e-coating, plating
160–800 ton hot/cold chamber machines

Engineers review manufacturability and price.
In-process QC with photos at key stages.
FAI report, material certs, DDP shipping.
Typically 500+ pieces per year. Below that, CNC machining from bar or gravity casting is usually cheaper — we'll tell you honestly in the DFM stage if die casting isn't your best route.
Simulation-assisted gating, vacuum-assist on critical parts, X-ray inspection and resin impregnation for pressure-tight requirements.
Yes — we machine critical faces and bores in-house to ±0.02 mm, which is standard practice for sealing and bearing features.
Zinc excels for thin walls (0.6 mm), tight tolerances and decorative plating; aluminum wins for strength-to-weight and cost at larger sizes. We advise per part in the DFM report.
