The resource and energy efficient use of scrap in foundries is an important topic in metallurgical plant construction. The latest trends will be presented at METEC and GIFA in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The past few years have been turbulent for foundries. From constantly growing requirements and fluctuating revenues. One of the main drivers of change is the automotive industry, as the most important customer of the casting industry.

In order to meet the requirements of the growing world market for complex aluminum castings, aluminum-specific systems must interact harmoniously. Italpresse Gauss demonstrates the advantages of high-pressure and sand casting.

Renishaw is working with autonomous topology optimisation company Paramatters to give manufacturers access to efficiently manufactured metal 3D printed parts.

Cold-chamber die casting is the most popular process in the mass production of light metal castings. Magmasoft explains key factors for the realization of a cost-reduced lightweight design concept.

Simulation systems of CNC functionalities by means of control models are widely used. When they reach their limits, simulations based on the real CNC core can provide help. But how are the required application data implemented in the simulation scenario?

The combination of high-precision machine tools and special diamond cutters offers an economically and technically convincing alternative for machining dies for plastic parts with particularly high surface quality requirements such as optical lenses.

Lionel Chapis, Managing Director Automotive Structures, demonstrates the technology and strategy behind the expansion of the Dahenfeld plant to produce large-format structural components from aluminum for the first time.
