Would anyone be able to give a rough idea of costing for a 50mm x 23mm x 11mm part to be die cast in aluminium ?. I am assuming that die-casting would be the most suitable method though I would be interested to hear pros and cons of other methods.
An image of the part is available at:
The longditudinal holes are 4mm in diameter and if these are likely to greatly increase the price I would be happy to drill them out myself.
I have been told this would be suitable for doing myself using RTV molds but that would entail getting kitted out in all the equipment, furnace etc. Mind you, if this isn't viable for casting companies to produce in small runs, I may well delve into setting myself up a casting rig.
