Mobility aids
Bracket for the mobility aid industry
A load-bearing bracket, high pressure die cast in aluminium, for wheelchairs and walking aids. The part must be light enough for the user to lift the device, and strong enough to carry the user.

A zinc die cast bracket, threaded and finished here so the customer can take it straight into assembly. The part never leaves the building between casting and completion.
A load-bearing bracket where the strength requirement exceeded what high pressure die casting can deliver. The part is gravity cast precisely because it will be heat treated afterwards — the method follows the function, not machine availability.
Electronics and audio
An enclosing part for audio equipment, die cast in zinc. Here weight is not a compromise — it is the function. A heavy housing damps unwanted vibration, and zinc is the heavier metal.

Garden equipment
An aluminium die casting for consumer volumes, cast with the bearing fit and pressure tightness straight from the tool — with no subsequent machining.
Furniture
A joining fitting die cast in zinc. It has to hold two furniture parts together through repeated assembly and disassembly, and feel solid in the hand when the customer unpacks it.
A zinc die casting that feeds into a vehicle supply chain. The requirement here is not primarily strength — it is that part number 50,000 is identical to part number 1, and that it arrives on the agreed day.
Furniture
A visible fitting that is cast, machined, blasted, coated at a sub-supplier and inspected before delivery. Nine steps, two of them outside the building — and we hold all nine.

How to read them
Each of the eight pages is built the same way, so that they can be compared: what the challenge was, what we did, and what the result was — with material, process, weight, series size and finishing given as specification rather than as narrative.
The parts are anonymised because they are our customers’ products, not ours. We own none of them, and confidentiality about who has what made is part of the agreement with every customer. What has been removed is the customer name and any image that identifies the end product. What remains is everything a design engineer needs in order to judge whether the method suits a similar part.
Four of the eight are in zinc. That is not accidental: zinc gives thinner walls, sharper detail and longer die life, and almost no Norwegian supplier offers it. Two of the examples show parts held as cast on critical dimensions — with no subsequent machining — and one shows a part heat treated to reach its strength requirement.
If you are looking for a particular combination — zinc with threads, gravity casting with heat treatment, a coated visible surface — the grid below is the fastest way to it. If none of them resembles your part closely enough, the drawing is a better starting point than an example anyway.
Send the drawing and we will tell you whether the method fits — including when the answer is that you should make it another way.
