What is "die cast" in Spanish?

Question

I am translating some technical information and need a word for "stamped steel" aka "die cast"... if anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

Muchas gracias! Laura Garcia

Answer 1

I was so hoping that it would be "iacta est" (which is the Latin for "the die is cast" and is sometimes used in English). Unfortunately, in the case of the Latin phrase, the "die" refers to the "die" used in a game of dice and the "cast" to the action of throwing the dice.

Answer 2

You're welcome!

Answer 3

Yeah, I had decided to use that as my defualt word if I couldn't find anything else. Thanks!

Answer 4

I tried look up ways to say this and all I came up with is:

a cast of an object is a = molde

so that doesn't answer your question, but maybe it helps a little!
