Die casting design resources and literature
from NADCA for OEM product designers, engineers and purchasing
specifiers are available for purchase through NADCA:
Product Design for Die Casting
This manual presents a logical structure in
which to pursue product improvement and cost-reduction programs,
applicable to both new product concepts and the upgrading of
existing component production. The principles and sequence
outlined are generic to any strategic approach to product
development and engineering. They are integral to today's
emphasis on "simultaneous engineering" or design for
manufacturability.
CastView Visualization Software
CastView is a design visualization tool that
presents die casting specific information in 3-dimensional
graphical form. CastView provides a very fast "quick and dirty"
analysis of die-casting part designs without the need for
extensive input data or significant experience with computer
simulation or computer-aided engineering.
NADCA Product Specification Standards for
Die Castings
This manual covers
specification, design and production guidance for
both users and manufacturers of die castings. The
manual presents tooling information, alloy
properties, standard and precision tolerances, GD&T,
design guidelines, quality assurance provisions and
more.
Standards for Semi-Solid and Squeeze Cast
Processes
This newly-updated manual covers
specification, design and production guidance for both users and
manufacturers of semi-solid and squeeze castings. The manual
presents both standard and precision tolerances.
