Innovation in metalcasting is key for suppliers and OEMs alike in the automotive industry, single largest sector for metalcasting usage.
Casting is a major part of the effort towards lighter-weight materials. Along with new casting processes and manufacturing techniques, new engine technologies and production methods are also emerging. These enable complex features to be cast into a part in a single process – saving time, weight and money.
Enjoy your reading! Recent casting customer successes Success Stories & Customer Testimonials Inasmet-Tecnalia standardizes the quality of large-size cast iron castings with ProCAST
"ProCAST recent developments prove to be excellent for predicting the microstructure and the basic mechanical properties of casting materials..." PEMSA uses PAM-STAMP 2G to reduce stamping die design time from 6-12 months to 1 month
"In one month only we developed a die design that solved the cracking problem without interfering with the spot welded surfaces. The key was PAM-STAMP 2G’s ability to evaluate quickly and inexpensively the performance of alternative die designs..."
