Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A technician who uses die casting machines to inject molten metal into molds under high pressure to form and manufacture metal products such as automotive parts and home appliance parts.
Description
Die casting technicians handle mold preparation, melting and management of molten metal, forming using injection molding machines, product inspection and finishing, and mold maintenance. They mainly handle aluminum or magnesium alloys to manufacture high-precision products such as automotive parts and electronic equipment parts. Optimizing manufacturing conditions (temperature, pressure, speed), analyzing causes of defects, safety and health management, and daily inspection and cleaning of equipment are also important tasks. In recent years, the introduction of IoT and automation technologies has progressed, requiring skills in process management using data and preventive maintenance.
Future Outlook
With the introduction of automation and IoT, production efficiency and quality control will become more sophisticated, increasing demand for technicians with advanced machine operation and data analysis skills. While influenced by the reorganization of the domestic manufacturing industry, stable workplaces are expected.
