When choosing a process for producing your parts, keep in mind that the casting size matters; particularly die casting. Die casting certainly has some features that could be appealing for certain applications, however, it is typically more limited by the casting size than investment casting. Die casting is generally practical up to approximately 75 pounds. Investment casting can produce much larger parts while offering many of the same and additional benefits. Foundries can vary, but Pennsylvania Precision Cast Parts can make castings up to about 250 pounds.
