Investment casting supports complex shapes, broad alloy selection, and refined surface finish at low-to-medium volumes. Die casting favors repeatable high-volume production of non-ferrous components after a larger tooling investment.
Compare lifetime volume, alloy, section thickness, dimensional capability, surface requirements, tooling, and secondary operations before selecting the route.
