Last week we had the pleasure of attending the first Global Giga Casting Conference in Kassel, Germany, organised by GTK - Chair of Foundry-Technology (University of Kassel), and sharing our ideas on finding the optimal size for HPDC machines. Our speaker, Stephan Philipp, Team Lead Advanced Development, shared GFโ€™s strategy for success in large structural castings during his presentation. While big casting offers huge benefits, designing large components is about more than size. It requires an integrated approach, combining topology optimization, CAD (design) & CAE (calculation) and process simulation (casting, distortion, sprue design), etc. Traditionally, these areas were tackled separately, resulting in to costly, time-consuming loops. But as die-casting machines scale rapidly, this fragmented approach no longer works. ๐Ÿ’ก Thatโ€™s where GF Casting Solutions comes in. At the conference, we showcased our innovative CCB 2.0 design and one-piece bulkhead, demonstrating how early simulation-driven development enables: โœ… Cost-effective, sustainable lightweight solutions โœ… Optimized structural castings for EVs โœ… #GoingBeyondLimits in dimension, functionality & performance Get in touch with us to discuss your next casting project: https://lnkd.in/dppjK5mM #GFCS #GFCastingSolutions #IndustrialInnovation #GigaCasting #Manufacturing Michael Just, Michael HeรŸling, Stephan Philipp, Tim Spielmann
