Reliable. Repeatable. Ready for Production.
DAC INDUSTRIES
At DAC, we
specialise in high-quality gravity die casting — delivering precision-engineered metal components with superior strength, finish, and dimensional accuracy.
Gravity die casting (also known as permanent mould casting) is a manufacturing process where molten metal is poured into a reusable steel or iron mould under the force of gravity.
This method is ideal for producing low, medium-to-high volume parts with excellent mechanical properties, tight tolerances, and a smooth surface finish — making it perfect for automotive, aerospace, defence, and industrial applications.
- Superior Strength: Denser, stronger components than sand castings.
-
Consistent Quality: Excellent dimensional accuracy and repeatability.
-
Smooth Finish: Reduced machining and finishing requirements.
-
Efficient Production: Faster turnaround times for medium-to-large batch runs.
-
Material Flexibility: Suitable for aluminium, brass, and other non-ferrous alloys.
Advanced CNC-machined dies for precision and durability.
Castings from 10g to 25kg in a variety of alloys.
In-house tool design and maintenance for cost control and quality assurance.
Heat treatment, machining, and finishing services for complete end-to-end solutions.
ISO-certified quality systems ensuring reliability and traceability.
