Geometry and volume determine which process wins, not a one-size-fits-all rule.

Zinc handles finer features and tighter tolerances than aluminum die casting.

Material choice hinges on how temperature, pressure, and chemistry interact, not separately.

Mold lifespan follows a predictable degradation curve that lets you plan which parts to keep.

Aluminum tooling often beats urethane casting on total cost in the 100 to 500 unit range.

Know your break-even volume or overpay for brackets every single month.
