Autonomous optimization of casting processes and designs

Twenty years after the introduction of simulation software for foundries into the industry, casting process simulation has become an accepted tool for process and design lay-out. Casting process simulation always displays the status quo of its expert user. The user decides if the rigging system or process parameters lead to an acceptable res...




Automatic computerized optimization in die casting processes

The simulation of die filling and solidification processes was first applied in foundries more than 20 years ago. Although casting simulation is still a young technology, it has gained wide acceptance. More than 150 foundries in Germany use simulation programs. In addition to larger foundries and direct automotive suppliers, simulation has beco...




Two for One – transferring proven filling characteristics from a single to a two cavity die casting die

The demands on the productivity and robustness on the high pressure die casting process for high quality components are continuously rising. At the same time, financial considerations mean that an exact and reliable planning of the die layout and production process is required.
