We are proud to announce the re-launch of our company website, www.cwmdiecast.com! Take a quick walkthrough of our new website and our subscription-free Die Cast Design Center.

This webinar utilizes a unique approach to selecting a die cast alloy... an in-depth investigation of several hand-picked case studies which are manufactured in each alloy classification. These die cast case studies cover a wide spectrum of industries and support the benefits of each alloy throughout this presentation. Cost analysis/breakdown, design considerations, and properties of the different alloys are also included in this webinar. 49 minutes.

This webinar discusses the benefits of using high pressure die casting in the medical device industry.

Several topics are covered in detail, such as choosing an alloy, the importance of surface finishes, converting to die casting from other manufacturing processes, quality inspection methods, and more! Our presenter will talk about several CWM case studies and how they exemplify the experience in success and the breadth of capabilities that Chicago White Metal has to offer when it comes to high pressure die casting.

Presents the important factors that can affect the outcome of the final appearance of your die cast component when its surface finish is a critical issue. This narrated webinar will aid an understanding of the various finish options, and how their uses and limitations can make the difference between successful product development and costly results. 49 minutes.

Presentation to aid efficiency, functionality and cost savings in the design and production of custom die castings. This narrated webinar focuses on helping effectively capitalize on today's advanced die casting capabilities to improve performance and lower the costs of their custom components. 1 hour.

For users of machined parts looking for opportunities to reduce part costs while improving existing designs, with lower environmental impacts. Narrated webinar covers die cast conversion benefits and when such conversions are and are not advantageous. Tips on how best to make the transfer to an optimized die cast part. Covers conversion design considerations, alloys and surface finishes— with case studies. 30 minutes.

Presents the facts on why multi-slide, miniature zinc die casting is the preferred choice for small precision components. It enables product designers to learn how this specialized die casting process can substantially reduce component costs and provide optimal precision to a new project design or a conversion from an existing process.

Chicago White Metal explores magnesium die casting in this informative webinar. Reviews the unique properties of die casting with magnesium that can be employed in a new design or conversion from another process. The information presented in this webinar is for OEM product designers and engineers who want to understand how magnesium die casting can improve product performance and reduce costs. 50 minutes.

A comprehensive webinar addressing cost savings on die casting by discussing metal die casting engineering design elements that minimize time, efficiency, mold flow, and other factors that go into die cast product manufacturing. 43 minutes.

An in-depth webinar that compares several different alternative processes to high pressure die casting. This webinar will do a brief introduction of processes as well as a comparison analysis involving the following performance and processing factors: part design complexity, consistent dimensional precision, net- and near-net shapes, wall thickness, strength & rigidity, surface finish, raw material choices, tooling costs, production and material costs, and material utilization. 55 minutes.
