Are Precision dice for you?

Cost

Production costs are high. Precision dice are labour intensive to produce without the added step of stamping, which, like some steps in the process, is done by hand. Machine-produced, mould-injected dice are far more affordable. Quality, however, tends to be hit and miss. More important, mass-produced dice are not manufactured to high tolerances in order to ensure randomness, or balance. Our precision dice are manufactured to the same high standard as craps dice used in casinos. Outside dimensions are true to 1/10,000th of an inch.

Life cycle

Durability is another issue. The foil on our custom dice is only about 10-15 microns thick. The foil is so lightweight that it does not perceptibly alter the balance of the die. The downside is that the foil is prone to wear. Metallic foils are particularly vulnerable, primarily because salts from perspiration can corrode them over time. Gentle cleaning with warm water and dish soap after use can retard this process, however. Nevertheless, the soft cellulose acetate—from which precision dice are milled—will itself wear over time. This may adversely affect balance, which is why casinos swap out older dice for new ones before this can occur. At bottom, balance is the most important property of precision dice—the reason they are a premium item. All this is to say that if you are looking for a hard-wearing set of dice, precision dice may not be ideal for your purposes.

Appearance

Although many of our customers have expressed delight at the appearance of our custom dice, some people have been disappointed by the appearance of a particular foil design. Our dice are stamped by hand. So no two dice are exactly identical with respect to the positioning and appearance of the foil design. Moveover, depending upon the pressure applied during the stamping process, a design may have a little too much foil, or not enough. The vagaries of stamping by hand are compounded when a design is comprised of more than one colour. Ensuring that the second colour aligns perfectly with the first is difficult to achieve consistently. In other words, we cannot guarantee that the design on a die will appear exactly as it does on the schematics we use for production.
