Developments in industries such as automotive require fast and high-quality manufacturing solutions
The importance of die casting is increasing: reduce sourcing complexity with FACTUREE
Berlin, August 14, 2024 – Die casting has become essential in the industry due to its ability to produce high-quality, complex, and precise components in large quantities and at low costs. This makes die casting a preferred method across various sectors, from automotive and electronics to consumer goods. Developments such as lightweight construction, sustainability, and increasing cost pressures drive demand. But how do you find the best manufacturer? FACTUREE (www.facturee.de) significantly reduces sourcing complexity by consolidating suppliers.
Die casting enables the rapid and precise production of complex, durable components in large quantities with consistent quality. Choosing the right material depends on the end product's requirements, such as strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
Overall, die casting is gaining importance due to technological innovations and market trends. For example, the automotive industry faces increasing pressure to reduce vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Die casting processes, particularly with lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium, allow the production of structural and functional components that are both lightweight and robust. Additionally, die casting is a relatively material-efficient process with comparatively low waste and high recycling potential. At a time when sustainability and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important, this is a significant advantage.
"The die casting process enables buyers and engineers to meet the industry's demand for fast, cost-efficient, and high-quality production. Using suitable aluminum, zinc, and magnesium alloys, the die casting process can efficiently and sustainably produce complex, stable components," explains Lukas Schlicker, Co-Founder and CPO of FACTUREE, and continues, "However, this process can only reach its full potential if sourcing challenges do not slow down procurement managers. The identification, selection, and management of suppliers are complex and often consume valuable time."
Simplified sourcing and consolidation of all manufacturing steps
FACTUREE offers significant relief in sourcing die-cast parts with its all-in-one approach and extensive supplier network. FACTUREE handles all necessary processes—from supplier search and technical consulting to manufacturing, post-processing, and surface finishing—from a single source. This strategic approach significantly reduces complexity, risks, and effort in sourcing.
With a network of over 2,000 manufacturing partners, FACTUREE offers a diverse portfolio of manufacturing processes and can always find the right solution for any requirement, whether for single pieces or series productions. Special solutions and custom requests can also be easily implemented. Another advantage of the supplier network is FACTUREE's high delivery capability, even in times of high demand or crises. If one manufacturer fails, there are potentially 1,999 others available. This increases resilience for companies.
Lukas Schlicker states, "By simplifying the sourcing process and consolidating all manufacturing steps, the time-to-market can be significantly shortened, allowing companies to bring their innovations to market faster. And this does not come at the expense of quality—quite the opposite. We take full responsibility for the entire process."
