Major Selection Criteria: Complex Shape
View
This chassis for a motor drive unit for an automatic opening roller door was made from several pressed metal parts prior to being designed as a zinc die casting. Die casting in zinc alloy 3 provided numerous benefits: 1.) Additional features such as pockets, the...
