Research and Technology

If 3D sand printing prints sand molds for conventional casting, metal additive manufacturing goes a step further: it prints metal parts directly, layer by layer, with no mold at all. The technology makes possible geometries that cannot be produced by conventional casting or machining, and it is being adopted more and more in aerospace, medical,

Imagine knowing that a gating system design will cause porosity before a single drop of molten metal has been poured into a mold. That is what digital simulation in casting offers, a technology that changes how foundries approach design and troubleshooting, from costly trial-and-error to data-based prediction before production begins.
