4. Labor Costs

1. Precision and Consistency One of the hallmark features of universal die casting is its ability to produce parts with tight tolerances. The molds are engineered to exact specifications, ensuring that each component meets the desired quality standards.

2. Creating the Die Once the design is approved, a die is manufactured. This die is critical as it will shape the metal during the stamping process. High-quality dies are designed for durability and precision.

2. Dimensional Tolerances Sand casting typically has lower dimensional accuracy compared to other casting techniques like investment or die casting. This limitation can pose challenges for applications requiring tight tolerances and precision, leading to increased machining costs for final adjustments.

6. Tools Essential tools for sand casting, such as ladles for pouring, spatulas for smoothing sand, and trowels for shaping, are often included or can be found at home improvement stores.
