Abstract The casting industry is one of the major industries in the world with a great impact in everybody‘s life. Die casting is a process where a permanent mould is used, and melted metal is injected by pressure, allowing smaller cycles and continuum parts production. This study is focused in die casting applied to automobile industry where many casted parts are used in their components. The study was developed in order to maximise the quality of small parts injected in Zamak alloy for automotive components. Using simulation, the runners’ location was improved as well as gas relief.
