Casting
Aluminum and zinc die-cast housings, brackets and structural components subject to alloy, tooling and volume review.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Metal Manufacturing Network
A coordinated route for metal parts that must integrate with molded components, hardware, electronics or finished assemblies.
Process overview
Metal Manufacturing Network at Createch
Createch can evaluate programs requiring aluminum or zinc die casting, other casting routes, sheet-metal cutting and forming, progressive-die stamping, CNC machining, forging, fasteners and hardware. Plating, anodizing, PVD, powder coating and other metal finishes are quoted under the applicable manufacturing route. These capabilities are coordinated through reviewed resources and are not represented as part of Createch's plastic-finishing department.
Capabilities
Process scope and production support
Sheet metal and stamping
Cutting, bending, forming, progressive-die stamping and hardware insertion for brackets, enclosures and assemblies.
Machining and hardware
CNC-machined parts, forgings, fasteners, bolts, washers, nuts and program-specific hardware.
Metal surface finishing
Plating, passivation, anodizing, PVD, powder coating, wet paint and other drawing-specified finishes through the confirmed production source.
Applications and RFQ planning
Parts and programs suited to metal manufacturing network
- Aluminum and zinc die-cast housings
- Stamped brackets and progressive-die parts
- Formed sheet-metal enclosures
- CNC-machined components and hardware
- Plated, anodized or powder-coated metal parts
Metal work is reviewed through the appropriate qualified production route. Drawings, alloy, finish specification, tolerances, annual volume, tooling expectations and required certifications determine the quoted source and process plan.
