Rapid Metal Die Casting
While shipping CNC prototypes to customers, we are inquired frequently if we can provide low-volume rapid metal casting service? Due to this, we started to search for metal Die casting suppliers to fulfill those requirements. It posed a challenge; however, we picked it as a business opportunity. It was difficult to find the right organizations for these projects, we knew it would be harder for overseas customers to find them.
After a few years, we developed cordial business relationships with a few medium-sized casting partners who met our quality standards and lead time requests. We now offer high-pressure die and metal casting in magnesium and zinc, aluminum, as well as investment casting in brass and all forms of steel.

What is
Pressure Die Casting?
A process like pressure die casting is also a rapid metal casting process in which we force molten metal into a mold cavity to generate metal parts. At Superapid, we carry and use certified machines and pressure casting dies to make designs from molten metal; typically copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, pewter, magnesium, or other tin-based alloys.
Superapid’s pressure dies casting process is reliable and effective, and result in significant cost savings. Due to our flexibility, we accommodate any project needs you may have; from small batches of 50 to as many as 2,000 pieces.
- Impeccable dimensional stability and surface finish
- We offer complex geometries that need little or no post-machining
- Low-cost per part when going for a large production runLow-cost per part when going for a large production run
- Great for large or medium parts that would be more expensive or slower to machine
Metal Casting FAQ
Why use casting rather than an easily accessible process like CNC machining?
Metal casting is used to make large parts with complex parts and high-tensile strength with undercuts. Sometimes you have no alternative.
How is it feasible economically for Superapid to provide low-volume metal casting?
We have reliable casting partners who satisfy our casting needs. We use low-cost 3D printed wax patterns to minimize the cost for the customer.
Can you attach casting with other techniques?
We are experts at extra CNC machining features (such as minor details and engraving) onto cast parts.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
We normally accept metal casting orders of no fewer than 500 kg
