Go from design to delivery with an end-to-end manufacturing partner
Die casting services are just some of the expert capabilities you can leverage when you work with Genimex as your manufacturing partner. We take a Design for Manufacturing (DFM) approach, reviewing designs for manufacturability and suggesting adjustments to improve cost-effectiveness and enable scalable production. As a die casting contract manufacturer, we combine various metal manufacturing techniques to produce high-quality components for all types of consumer goods.
What is die casting?
Manufacturers use die casting to create precise metal components using custom-made molds or dies. Molten metal is poured or injected into the die, producing consistent parts for high-quality products that all meet the same standards.
Our integrated die casting capabilities
Cold chamber die casting
The cold chamber method is suitable for aluminum die casting and other metals with high melting points. A high-pressure piston forces molten aluminum, copper, or other metals into the die cavity, producing complex components with pleasing surface finishes.
Hot chamber die casting
Ideal for zinc die casting, this process keeps low-melting-point metals fully molten until they are injected into the die. Manufacturers use this process to rapidly produce small parts that require consistency.
High-pressure die casting
Injecting metals into dies at extremely high pressures results in parts with a smooth, non-porous finish. This process is ideal for precision components for electronic consumer goods.
Low-pressure die casting
Metal is injected into the mold at lower pressures for superior control, ideal for complex shapes. Low-pressure techniques are suitable for both large- and small-batch die casting, particularly where dimensional accuracy is a priority.
Gravity die casting
A simple yet effective process where gravity is used to ensure an even fill of the die for improved metal density. Gravity die casting services are often employed where strength and durability are critical.
Ensuring quality throughout our die casting services
Quality assurance is built into every stage of the Genimex process. We review designs to assess manufacturability and suggest the best die casting services and techniques to support production at scale. We test your prototype and ensure that all relevant tooling, such as custom dies, is in place before production starts. Factories are regularly audited, and on-site inspections ensure that every component and completed product meets your exacting standards.

Bring your design to Genimex for assessment. We usually review CAD files and any additional 2D drawings, along with your ideas for suitable materials and required material properties, such as heat resistance. Our DFM experts will review your designs, suggest amendments, and talk you through the next steps to bring your product to market.
Factories specializing in die casting and other metal manufacturing techniques, such as CNC machining, will be reviewed by Genimex’s on-the-ground teams in South Asia, Southeast Asia, or China. They’ll assess each facility’s quality record for different scales of production, consider their position in the supply chain, and ensure they’re a good match for your startup or scaling brand.
Aluminum and zinc are metals with very different properties requiring different die casting methods. Aluminum is often used in high-pressure die casting or cold chamber die casting, producing parts with complex shapes and high structural integrity. Hot chamber die casting is used to produce zinc components for high-volume production of small, consistent parts.
