What Global OEM Clients Really Want Today — And Why Chinese Manufacturers Must Evolve
When a casting cracks, deforms, or shows porosity, the immediate reaction is often:
“Something must be wrong with the foundry.”
But as a precision casting manufacturer with years of hands-on experience, we’ve learned a hard truth:
Casting defects usually start long before metal touches the mold.
Sometimes the geometry has sharp transitions that trap heat.
Sometimes the machining allowance is too tight.
Sometimes a tolerance calls for machining on a surface that should remain cast.
And yes—sometimes it’s an issue with wax, shell, melting, or pouring.
This is why we always tell new OEM clients:
the earlier we join the discussion, the better your results will be.
At Singho, we run simulation tests, check wall thickness variation, evaluate gating systems, and review machining drawings before committing to mold development.
Not because it’s standard procedure, but because experience has taught us that prevention is cheaper than correction.
When customers allow us to contribute engineering input early, failure rates drop dramatically.
And that’s what OEM partnership should look like:
not only making parts, but protecting the project from risk.
