• Zinc Die Casting
• Aluminum Die Casting
• Magnesium Die Casting

It's no wonder that nearly every manufacturing industry uses metal die casting. No other material is as durable or as easily recycled. No other process offers the same cost-effectiveness in high-volume production. Metal enclosures often inherently provide enough shielding from electromagnetic interference to meet EMI standards. Metal is also an excellent choice when heat dissipation or conductivity are factors.

Modern die-casting processes ensure consisistent quality even with intricate configurations and extremely close tolerances, and result in a high-quality surface that can take a variety of decorative finishes.

Acme Alliance offers decades of experience creating aluminum, zinc and magnesium die castings for a wide array of applications. Combining traditional craftsmanship with the latest technologies and statistical process control (SPC) methods, we have earned a reputation for accuracy, consistency and timely delivery, even on the most difficult assignments.

THIXOMOLDING

Everybody's talking about Thixomolding. This combination of metal casting technology and plastic injection molding is a revolutionary advancement, allowing the production of net shape metal parts in a single step.

Based on the principle that magnesium alloys become semi-solid at high temperatures, this process allows the alloys to be molded much like plastic, resulting in components that are light, strong and thin yet durable. Reduced finishing needs and quicker start-up and shutdown add to the cost-effectiveness of this innovative new metal molding process.

Acme Alliance recognized early on that Thixomolding held great promise. In fact, strategic alliance member Acme Die Casting, LLC is the first company in North America to produce aluminum, zinc, magnesium and Thixomolded parts in one facility.

We're ahead of the curve on emerging metal technologies. So you're ahead of the curve, too.

"V-PROCESS" CASTING

When it's a short run, look to Acme Alliance for value-added services with a capital "V". Prototype and low-volume production (bridging quantities) require special attention. Precision and quality are critical, but so is a quick turnaround.

Acme Alliance companies can help you meet your prototype and low volume production needs -- from 3-D prototype development to V-PROCESS aluminum castings.

Stereo lithography and laser imaging enable the creation of prototypes with a true 3-D look and feel, whether working from engineering specifications or reverse engineering.

An automated vacuum molding process that uses sand as a mold material, the V-PROCESS produces finer finishes and casts to tighter and more consistent tolerances than typical sand castings. V-PROCESS also offers unlimited pattern life. For excellent casting integrity and maximum flexibility, no other process is more reliable and cost-effective.
