Die Cast Tooling

Utilizing our many years of experience, state-of-the-art technology, and a commitment to stringent quality control, we deliver dies that will help you achieve precision and high productivity in your manufacturing operations. We provide Die Cast tooling that operates in die cast machines ranging from 50 to 3,000 tons, with fully assembled tool weights of up to 80,000 pounds. We build everything from simple open and closed dies to your more complex, multi-slide dies, 3-plate die designs, and dies utilizing the latest technology of 3D printed conformal cooled inserts. Some of our services Include:

• Complete parametric 3D modeling of tool design
• Flow simulations and thermal analysis
• Multi-slide dies using standard designs along with submarine style slide pulls and cam actuated slide pulls.
• Dies using loose piece inserts to cast internal features.
• Design and Development of conformal cooling lines to improve die cast tool performance.
• Die manuals and service manuals with certificates of conformance of materials and heat treat

With our focus on our customers’ automation and minimizing additional secondary operations, we build trim dies that will help to enhance the final form and visual appeal of your cast components.

Our experienced team is well-versed in building tilt-pour and gravity-fed permanent molds, along with semi-permanent molds using sand core boxes, with a focus on craftsmanship and practical design. Our commitment to precision and durability ensures you’ll receive reliable tooling solutions to help you efficiently produce intricate die-cast parts.

Our design and manufacturing team have extensive experience with the engineering and construction of hot form and superplastic dies for forming titanium sheet metal components into intricate shapes for the aerospace industry.

The Patterson team can help you boost manufacturing efficiency with our custom jigs and fixtures. With careful design and precise fabrication, we’ll help your production line with jigs and fixtures that help with precision, uniformity and efficient workflows.
