Custom machining refers to the manufacturing process of creating parts or components that fit specific criteria or specifications. Unlike mass production, where identical parts are produced in bulk, custom machining focuses on producing unique pieces that meet clients' particular demands. These parts can be crafted from a variety of materials such as metals, plastics, and composites, using different machining methods.

Wall thickness refers to the thickness of the walls of a die-cast part. In general, the wall thickness in aluminum die casting can range from 1 mm to 10 mm, depending on the specific application and design requirements. Achieving the right wall thickness is crucial; if it is too thin, it may not be able to withstand operational stresses or manufacturing conditions, while excessively thick walls can lead to increased weight and material costs.

2. Shell Building Once the pattern is ready, it is coated with a ceramic material to create a shell. This coating is achieved by dipping the wax pattern in a liquid ceramic slurry and then sprinkling fine sand on it. This step may be repeated multiple times to build a shell of sufficient thickness and strength to withstand the casting process.
