  Die Casting Frequently Asked Questions -Future Die Cast
A die casting for aluminum and zinc parts can actually be cheaper if you need more than 25 parts, usually it is less money if you can justify needing over 100 parts.
Die cast was once expensive for low volume and not time sensitive — with Future, it’s not that way anymore and that is a process we worked hard to bring to market using standard tools, running in standard machines.
High pressure die casting offers fast time to net shape (like injection molding) with little or no machining and we cannot stress it enough, in this legally based society, that your prototype or low volume production should be the same process as would be used throughout the product life cycle.

  Prototyping for Die Cast Components   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Alloys used for die casting are not usually suitable for the gravity casting or wrought and sheet alloys often used in prototyping.
Prototypes may be cast in existing dies using the new alloy if the die casting machine to be used is compatible with the previous machine and the dies will fill properly with the alternate alloy.
The optimum prototype casting alternative to a single-cavity die casting die depends on the alloy desired for eventual die casting and the properties to be evaluated.

 The Eggcorn Database » the die is cast
Soon the die is cast (so to speak), and the pieces are in place, but, as everyone knows, even the best-laid plans are subject to disaster once in the implementation stage as the human element is always the most unpredictable.
When I first heard the phrase “the die is cast”, I thought it meant that a mold for stamping out coins (for example) had already been produced from molten metal and thus set and could not be changed.
“Cast” can be synonymous with “thrown” as in “cast the first stone”, so the “traditional” translation of the expression as “the die is cast” is absolutely correct, it just has nothing to do with metal casting/moulding.

Cast Iron is an older technology that was commonly used by toy makers in the early to mid 1900's for everything from mechanical banks to farm tractors and cars.
Casting Iron produces a rather crude looking product by today's standards and is most commonly used for knock-offs and primitives that are supposed to look older than they are.

 AUE FAQ excerpt: "The die is cast."   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
"The die is cast." ------------------ does NOT mean "The metal template has been molded." It's what Julius Caesar said on crossing the river Rubicon to invade Italy in 49 B.C. The "die" is a gambling die, and "cast" means thrown.
Alea denotes the *game* of dice, rather than the physical die: the dice game is in its thrown state.
Both times, he gives the words as Anerriphtho: kubos = "Let the die be cast." In one of the accounts (Life of Pompey), he says that Caesar actually uttered the words in Greek; in the other (Life of Caesar), he suggests that the words were already a proverb before Caesar uttered them.

 FAQ About Die Casting
A number of factors affect the final design of a die cast component.
For example, casting drill spots may be preferred to casting a cored through hole.
Even though an extra step is required, offhand drilling after casting may be simpler and less expensive than creating a complex die with numerous cores.
