The application of simulation techniques makes a decisive contribution towards improving communication between the technical designer and casting technician. Transparency of the casting process thanks to filling and solidification simulation permit changes to be made as early as the construction and planning phases in terms of proper casting design of the future cast components. The ensuing advantages are obvious.
Shorter delivery times for prototypes and series
Adherence to and/or improvement of requisite quality
Savings in costs for the customer and foundry thanks to optimum casting technology
Reduced rejection rate
Our very extensive range of materials requires exact specifications in the area of heat treatment of castings. This process is also supported by simulation programs. Using steel analyses, structural components and conversion points, and therefore the strength and hardness of a material, can be determined in advance.
Furthermore, CAD data is utilised for pattern design and mechanical finishing on CNC machinery, thereby representing a key contribution towards classic job specifications.
