Die Cast Tooling

Die Cast ToolingWe custom build die casting and injection tooling (including Trim Dies), used in the manufacture of metallic and non-metallic components. Our tooling division can make dies for components of varied sizes and materials. For instance, our tools have been used in the manufacture of products ranging from small plastic toys to heavy-duty military equipment.
Die casting and injection tooling types that we manufacture include die cast molds, plastic injection molds, multi-cavity dies, and master unit dies (MUD).
We build die cast tooling with single or multiple cavities for brass, zinc and aluminum castings. If required, we can offer trim tools for cast parts as well.
Plastic injection molds are available

DACO can help and assist you with all tooling design, and construction on new and existing tooling, and offer part cost savings or over all tool cost saving options depending on the actual tool design. DACO can also help with all types of tooling and needed tooling repairs, including punch & die, core & cavity, locate and replace almost any components, and can completely reconstruct old or broken down tooling if needed.

Plastic Injection Tooling

Plastic Injection ToolingDACO Precision is a top-quality manufacturer of plastic injection molds. We can design and construct die core inserts as well as complete plastic injection molds. For high output, we can build a multi-cavity mold so our customers can cast multiple parts at once. Using the latest software, we are able to effectively design and build a tool from 2-D and 3-D part prints. DACO can build complex molds that require moving slides, lifters, and over-molding.
To build a long-lasting quality die, DACO insists on using high quality, certified materials when constructing any tooling. Our tooling technicians work very hard to provide customers with a high-performing, quality mold that will run thousands of high quality

Multi-Cavity Tooling

Multi Cavity ToolingDACO Precision keeps the customer’s needs in mind. If a high-output tool is required, we would suggest a multi-cavity tool. This particular type of mold has multiple chambers, which allows casters (or injectors) to produce multiple parts each cycle. We have the machinery and the people to create a smooth running multi-cavity mold.

For instance, our tools have been used in the manufacture of products ranging from small plastic toys to heavy-duty military equipment. Die casting and injection tooling types that we manufacture include die cast molds, plastic injection molds, multi-cavity dies, and master unit dies (MUD). We build die cast tooling with single or multiple cavities for brass, zinc and aluminum castings. If required, we can offer trim tools for cast parts as well. Plastic injection molds are available with both conventional runner systems and hot runner systems. We make modular molds with built-in side action and complimentary tooling for over molds too. Our multi-cavity dies and master unit dies are suitable for both metal and plastic applications. M.U.D. units can be made with built-in unit holders in standard or specialty M.U.D. sizes. 2D and 3D CAD/CAM software packages, including SolidWorks and AutoCAD, are used to design dies in-house. While designing dies, our designers take into consideration all the operational factors of the dies. For example, tools used for high-volume production are designed factoring in longevity. Low-cost dies for prototyping or sample applications can be built in short time frames. Also, we can modify, troubleshoot, and repair your existing tools and dies. Provide your product design to our engineering department thru the use of the "RFI" Request for Information selection button. Simply attach your design and submit your request. We'll review your design and make contact with you prior to the generating a quote for your review.

  • Specifications
    Part Quantities

    We have the ability to produce a low cost die for prototype purposes, or we can build a long lasting tool to support high production requirements. We can build you a high-grade tool that is capable several hundred thousand cycles or more.

    Note: DACO does not perform any casting services, but only produces the tooling for that process.

    Tolerances

    +/- 0.0005 for an average production run die, but not limited to.
    We will produce a die to meet or exceed your design specification.
