One piece die casting technology was first developed by Tesla in the automobile industry. In the Q1 financial report in 2020 (April 2020), integrated die casting appeared for the first time. Tesla was very innovative in thinking of directly replacing the rear bottom plate with a piece of steel. Tesla also mentioned more thorough body integration. That is, the whole chassis of the car body is die-casting.

At present, in Fremont and Shanghai Super Factory, Tesla’s integrated die casting is mainly used for the rear floor. “During the forming process of Model Y rear base plate, only aluminum liquid needs to be injected into the mold for integrated die casting, which reduces more than 70 welding pieces, improves the production efficiency and reduces the manufacturing cost.

“The application of the 6000 ton giant die-casting machine has simplified the welding production line of the back plate of the traditional factory, which has a faster production pace and fewer manufacturing hours.”

Now, the Texas factory has made further progress in technology, adopting the integrated die casting molding of the front and rear of the car body, reducing more than 170 independent components. Tesla plans to use the structural battery pack and front body integrated die-casting structure in the Berlin super factory by the end of this year.

In addition to Tesla, other auto companies are also actively promoting integrated die casting. Integrated die casting technology can greatly improve product industrialization, integrated production, reduce the error caused by die casting and assembly, thus reducing production and assembly costs, making products more competitive in the market.

How does one-piece die casting compare to traditional manufacturing methods?

One-piece die casting is a manufacturing process that is often compared to traditional methods, such as machining and welding. One-piece die casting is a process that creates a finished product from a single piece of metal. This is done by injecting molten metal into a mold cavity. The metal is then allowed to cool and harden, resulting in a finished product. In comparison, traditional methods involve creating a product from multiple pieces of metal that are then joined together. One of the advantages of one-piece die casting is that it results in a higher-quality product. This is because the metal is not subject to the stress that is often caused by traditional methods, such as welding. Additionally, one-piece die casting is a more efficient process. This is because it eliminates the need to weld or machine the product.

What are the potential future applications of one-piece die casting?

One-piece die casting is a process that has been around for centuries, and its potential future applications are limitless. Some of the most promising applications include the use of one-piece die casting in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries.

In the automotive industry, one-piece die casting is being used to create engine blocks, manifolds, and other parts. The advantages of using one-piece die casting in this industry include the ability to create complex shapes, the ability to produce parts with a high degree of accuracy, and the ability to achieve a high level of consistency.

In the aerospace industry, one-piece die casting is being used to create engine parts, landing gear, and other parts. The advantages of using one-piece die casting in this industry include the ability to create complex shapes, the ability to produce parts with a high degree of accuracy, and the ability to achieve a high level of consistency.

In the medical industry, one-piece die casting is being used to create medical devices, surgical instruments, and other medical parts. The advantages of using one-piece die casting in this industry include the ability to create complex shapes, the ability to produce parts with a high degree of accuracy, and the ability to achieve a high level of consistency.

One-piece die casting is a game-changing technology that is rapidly changing the car manufacturing industry. It is more efficient and results in a higher-quality product, making it the future of car manufacturing.
