Aluminum Die Casting?

[RopeS]

Does anyone here do aluminum die casting or know someone who does? Any shop that helps with design/prototype would be a plus. Thanks!

I could probably point you in the direction of some companies that do. what you looking to make?

Would be interesting to know if someone does this as a hobby.

Thanks for the lead, Kenny. I am looking to make a few things that would look kinda like a camshaft. It looks like die casting would be more expensive than I thought, so maybe investment casting would be cheaper, I'll have to check. Thought about sand casting, but I want the 'journals and lobes' to be at least somewhat polished looking. I'm looking at getting these made from aluminum, as I want it lightweight. Just bouncing some ideas around at this point.
