OUR EXPERTISE
DESIGN FOR EXCELLENCE (DFX)
We go beyond standard Design for Manufacturability (DFM) studies and take a Design for Excellence approach, whereby our team analyzes and optimizes tooling for manufacturability; moldability; customer goals; design considerations; cost and affordability; product life cycle; testing, quality and compliance; and so forth.
PREMIUM MATERIALS & DURABILITY
By using top-tier mold steels from respected suppliers like ASSAB and LKM, we guarantee molds that offer superior longevity and consistent, reliable performance. In addition to premium mold steels, we work with advanced magnesium alloys to meet the growing demand for lightweight, high-strength components.
MAGNESIUM
DAMAG has extensive magnesium die casting knowledge and expertise, partnering with customers on the distinctive benefits of magnesium die casting to suit their needs. Magnesium offers a perfect combination of light weight, rigidity and resistance to wear for diverse die cast part applications.

REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS & PLANNING
From your initial concept to validated production, we follow a transparent, stage-gated process designed for one outcome: delivering a flawless mold, on time and on budget. Our methodology ensures clarity, mitigates risk, and turns your vision into a manufacturing-ready reality.
Step 1
PRECISION MANUFACTURING
In our climate-controlled workshop, master technicians bring the design to life. Utilizing high-speed CNC machining, precision EDM, and grinding, we craft each component to exacting specifications. Every step is governed by strict in-process quality controls, adhering to the tightest tolerances.
Step 4
MOLD ASSEMBLY, TRIALS & VALIDATION
Expert mold makers meticulously assemble the finished components. We then conduct the crucial first trial (T1), fine-tuning process parameters to produce the initial samples. This phase transforms a collection of precision parts into a validated, functioning mold system. Preparing for the production of the first batch of samples.
Step 5
DESIGN, SIMULATION & OPTIMIZATION
DAMAG’s engineers create the 3D tooling design and provide a detailed DFX report. We then use advanced mold flow analysis to simulate and optimize gating, cooling, and venting, proactively solving potential issues to ensure a robust and efficient mold design.
Step 2
FINAL DESIGN REVIEW & APPROVAL
We present the finalized, optimized design for your formal review and approval. This collaborative milestone is your gateway to ensure perfect alignment on all technical aspects and the project timeline, giving you full confidence before manufacturing commences.
Step 3
SAMPLE INSPECTION & PROJECT DELIVERY
We perform a comprehensive First Article Inspection (FAI) on the trial samples, providing you with a full dimensional report. Upon your approval, the certified mold is prepared for secure shipment or ready to launch directly into mass production, seamlessly integrating into your supply chain.
Step 6
WHEN DAMAG ENGINEERING MEETS OBSESSION
The excellence of your end product hinges entirely on the caliber of the mold—this fundamental truth drives our uncompromising approach to tooling quality assurance. We’ve engineered a specialized, end-to-end QA process exclusively for mold manufacturing, leaving no detail to chance. From design validation to final inspection, every step is calibrated to forge molds that stand as paragons of pinpoint precision, rugged durability, and consistent performance—molds that don’t just meet your standards, but elevate the quality of every part you produce.
