In this process, molten material is pressed into steel molds under high pressure. The process is important wherever large quantities are required at moderate prices, often in auto production, for example. Disadvantage: The production of the steel mold is complex, time-consuming and very expensive. A new mold has to be created every time a minor change is made to the product. In addition, the casting process does not permit many geometries.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6381\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/?attachment_id=6381\" class=\"wp-image-6381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6383\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/?attachment_id=6383\" class=\"wp-image-6383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-03.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04-1024x761.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6385\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/?attachment_id=6385\" class=\"wp-image-6385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04-1024x761.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04-1536x1141.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2021\/03\/Protiq-Zamak-04.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n<p>Protiq has now succeeded for the first time in designing a process for additive processing of the series material Zamak 5.
