diecasting
Injected metal shaping
Diecasting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is forced under pressure into a mold cavity.
The molds, called dies, produce precise, identical parts repeatedly—engine blocks, door handles, toy cars.
The term covers both the process and its products: The factory specializes in aluminum diecasting.
Also spelled die-casting or die casting.
