The choice of casting method depends on factors such as:

  • Volume: For high-volume production, methods like die casting and permanent mold casting are ideal. Sand casting is better for smaller runs.
  • Part Complexity: Investment casting offers high precision and is suitable for intricate designs.
  • Cost: Die casting involves high setup costs but is cost-effective for large volumes, while sand casting is cheaper for small quantities.
  • Material Properties: Some methods may provide better material strength, surface finish, or dimensional accuracy depending on the needs of the part.
