Design 30–50% Lighter Parts with Magnesium Alloys
Cut component weight by 30–50% without sacrificing strength
Reduce vibration and noise with magnesium’s high damping properties
Improve thermal management and EMI shielding for electronics and enclosures
Unlock serious gains in performance, range, and cost by switching the right components from steel or aluminium to magnesium. We help Mechanical Design Engineers and R&D teams evaluate, redesign, and manufacture production-ready magnesium parts.
Integrate multiple parts into a single casting to save time and cost
Why Your Traditional Material Options are Holding You Back
Most products are still designed in steel or aluminium because “that’s how we’ve always done it.” But as your targets get tougher—lower weight, better NVH, more electronics in less space—traditional materials start limiting what your design can achieve.
Hard to hit aggressive weight targets - EVs, drones, aerospace and handheld devices all demand lighter structures. Every extra gram affects range, acceleration, comfort or battery life.
Thermal and EMI headaches - Dense electronics and tight packaging create hot spots, noise and compliance issues. You end up adding heat sinks, shields and extra parts just to keep things under control.
NVH and fatigue issues - Aluminium and steel transmit vibration. You’re constantly fighting noise, resonance and fatigue failures with extra stiffeners or overdesign.
Expensive machining and over-processing - Thick billets, long cycle times and heavy post-machining eat into margins and keep your parts more expensive than they need to be.
Magnesium Alloys in 60 Seconds
Magnesium alloys are structural metals designed for high-performance, weight-critical applications. They’re already used in automotive, aerospace, drones, robotics and electronics—but are still under-utilised in most designs.
✅
Ultra-Low Density translates to Massive Lightweighting – Around 35% lighter than aluminium and almost 5× lighter than steel. That’s instant weight reduction on every part you convert.
✅
Structural, Not Just Cosmetic – Modern magnesium alloys provide high specific strength and stiffness, making them suitable for many load-bearing brackets, housings and structural components.
✅
Made for Complex Shapes which translates to Thin-Wall Castability & Design Freedom – Excellent flow and castability make magnesium ideal for thin-wall die castings and complex geometries that are difficult or expensive to machine from solid.
✅
Sustainable & Recyclable – Lower weight and full recyclability help you improve product efficiency and reduce lifecycle emissions.
What Magnesium Alloys Actually Do for Your Design
Massive Lightweighting - Reduce part weight by 30–50% compared to aluminium and even more versus steel. Improve range, acceleration, handling and ergonomic comfort.
Thin-Wall Castability & Design Freedom - Design thin-wall, complex parts that flow well in die casting. Combine multiple machined or fabricated parts into a single casting with integrated ribs, bosses and features.
Built-In EMI/EMC Shielding - Electrically conductive magnesium alloys provide strong EMI shielding, often allowing you to remove separate shields or coatings and simplify your assembly.
Better NVH Through High Damping - Magnesium naturally absorbs vibration. That means quieter, more stable systems, less noise and improved comfort and durability.
System-Level Cost Advantages - Even if alloy price is similar, you win on part consolidation, reduced machining, faster cycles and lower transport costs due to weight reduction.
Improved Thermal Management - Use magnesium housings and structures as efficient heat spreaders around electronics, LEDs and power modules—without always needing bulky add-on heat sinks.
Is Your Component Right for Magnesium?
Magnesium is not for every part—and that’s okay. The gains are largest when you pick components where weight, integration and performance truly matter.

We De-Risk Your Switch to Magnesium Alloys
Feasibility & Design Review
You share drawings or CAD and basic load/environment details. We assess if magnesium is suitable, which process fits best, and what gains are realistic.
Design Optimisation for Magnesium
We recommend changes to wall thickness, ribs, fillets, draft, gating and features to balance castability, strength, weight and cost.
Production & Ongoing Support
Once validated, we move into steady production with our certified facilities. We continue to support design updates, cost reductions and new component conversions.
Prototyping & Validation
We build prototypes using sand/gravity casting, HPDC, forging or extrusion + machining. We support you with dimensional checks and performance testing where needed.
