Is a trim die always necessary in preparing for die cast production?
A. Since the trim die is the tool that trims the runner, overflows, and flash from the die cast part, it is an essential requirement with all conventional die casting production. Depending on the shape of the casting, the trim die may be a simple open-and-close trim die or it may include as many slides as the die casting die itself. Trim dies can require as much attention to detail in design as the die casting dies.
