STAGE 01 • H13 / DC53 TOOLROOM
3D ZBrush Sculpting & CNC Steel Milling
0.1mm ball-nose carbide cutters carve multi-level 3D reliefs, 4-slide hydraulic core pulls for 75mm figurines, and 0.15mm enamel septum dams.
Vertically Integrated OEM / ODM Foundry • Quanzhou 35,000 m² Campus
Zamak-3 & Zamak-5 Precision Die-Casting, 4-Slide Steel Tooling & Duplex Electroplating
Every critical process—from ZBrush 3D relief sculpting and ±0.01mm H13 CNC mold engraving to 280-ton hot-chamber casting, kiln cloisonné enameling, and cyanide-free 24K gold plating—operates under one roof with zero subcontracting.
6 In-House Production Workshops
End-to-End Die-Casting & Decorative Finishing Production Line
Follow how raw virgin ASTM B240 zinc ingots transform into heirloom bottle openers, keychains, magnets, figurines, and jeweled trinket boxes.
STAGE 02 • 418°C HOT-CHAMBER CASTING
Vacuum-Assisted Multi-Cavity Die-Casting
PID-stabilized goosenecks inject molten Zamak-3/Zamak-5 at 35 MPa with vacuum overflow wells to eliminate internal gas porosity at high-stress necks.
STAGE 03 • DEBURRING & MIRROR BUFFING
3-Stage Ceramic Tumbling & Sisal Polishing
Conical ceramic stones, walnut-shell media, and hand sisal wheels refine parting lines to Ra < 0.08 μm mirror smoothness without blunting fine details.
STAGE 04 • CYANIDE-FREE ELECTROPLATING
Duplex Nickel, 24K Gold & Antique Patinas
Titanium rack lines for trinket boxes & figurines plus rotary barrels for coins—delivering ASTM B764 duplex nickel and EN 1811 white-bronze finishes.
STAGE 05 • CLEANROOM KILN ENAMELING
Cloisonné Hard, Soft & Translucent Enamel
4-axis robotic Pantone dispensers and master hand-glazers execute flush-lapped hard enamel (190°C), recessed soft enamel, and Plique-à-Jour stained glass.
STAGE 06 • PRECISION ASSEMBLY & PACKING
Crystal Setting, N52 Bonding & Hinge Reaming
Vacuum crystal setting, CNC coaxial hinge pinning (±0.03mm), plasma-cleaned N52 magnet epoxy curing, and retail velvet box / FSC card assembly.

Functional Sub-Components & Findings
Engineered Functional Attachments for Every Zinc Alloy Category
A decorative casting is only as reliable as its functional spring, magnet, jaw, or hinge. We manufacture and stress-test all sub-assemblies to industrial tolerances.
KEYCHAINS & POCKET OPENERS
Tempered 65Mn Split Rings & SUS302 Clasps
30mm/32mm flat double-coiled rings survive 3,000 key insertions (<0.12mm gap); 360° swivel lobster clasps & screw-pin shackles exceed 25–32 kgf axial pull.
3D SOUVENIR FRIDGE MAGNETS
Recessed N52 Rare-Earth vs. Full Soft Ferrite
Cast 0.8mm undercut pockets bonded with 2-part toughened structural epoxy (>18 MPa shear, holds 18 A4 sheets) or 1.5mm paint-safe anisotropic ferrite pads.
HINGED JEWELRY & TRINKET BOXES
±0.03mm Knurled Pins & SmCo Snap Closures
CNC-reamed coaxial barrels fitted with SUS304 knurled pins (10,000 wobble-free cycles), hidden SmCo magnets (4.2 N tactile snap), and zero-VOC velvet inserts.
