Scope definition
Confirm all components, work steps and acceptance criteria.
Sub-assembly can simplify the supply chain when insert installation, sealing, testing and packaging are planned with the casting and machining process.
Assembly and Testing project review
Some die-cast projects end at the casting. Others require inserts, seals, hardware, subcomponents, functional checks and export packaging.
Assembly work should be defined by a bill of materials, work instruction, torque or fit requirement, inspection plan and traceability rule. Critical safety or regulatory functions require separate qualification.
Use this table for project planning, then confirm every critical value against the approved drawing and process plan.
| Assembly options | Insert installation, riveting, sealing, fastening and sub-assembly |
|---|---|
| Testing options | Leak testing, function checks and agreed inspection steps |
| Documentation | Work instruction, bill of materials and inspection record by project |
| Packaging | PE bag, bubble wrap, foam, carton and pallet as specified |
| Traceability | Batch and component records by agreed scope |
| Regulatory scope | Defined by the project's qualification and market requirements |
Each stage produces a decision or document that the next stage depends on. This keeps engineering, purchasing and production aligned.
Confirm all components, work steps and acceptance criteria.
Validate fixtures, instructions, torque, sealing and test method.
Control components, process settings and inspection records.
Use the approved packaging and identification method.
These answers define the normal project path and the information needed for a useful quotation.
Provide the controlled 2D/3D drawing, material requirement, annual quantity, finishing requirement, critical dimensions, target market and delivery date.
An initial feasibility discussion is possible, but the quotation and tooling scope should be based on a controlled drawing revision.
Tolerance and inspection requirements are defined from the drawing, critical features, process capability and agreed datum strategy.
Ownership, storage, maintenance and transfer terms are defined in the quotation or supply agreement before the tooling project starts.
Use the internal links to connect the material, process, industry, product and RFQ pages around one project decision.
Include the material, annual quantity, finishing requirement, target market and delivery date. The review can start from STEP, IGS, DWG, DXF, PDF or ZIP files.
