Hot Zinc Diecasting
In case you’re wondering what the hot zinc diecast process looks like, here’s an example.
(The beginning of the video shows their behind the scenes creating of the mold – at 15:25, they start pouring the zinc, I think I cued it to start at 15:25).
The machine that makes diecast toys is not quite as factory-industrial looking but it’s much more fun to see hot metal being poured …
Of course, this video isn’t of diecast CARS but you get the idea – just imagine instead of that giant metal thing created, it’s 8-24 CARS on a stalk that is broken off, sanded and painted …
The US trade show for diecast manufacturing is coming up – you going? 🙂

Yes, it’s an oddly inflected computer translation of the original Polish narration.
It’s also not zinc die-casting, but aluminum; they list the four specific alloys well into the film (though it is the same general process and still representative).
(Rant — why does this log me out every time I try to post now!)
Is that a computer narrating the video?
