From "Nice to Have" via “Necessary Evil” to "Indispensible Business Tool"
There are simulation tools suitable for every foundry to participate in the transformation of the industry

Iron Foundry Gets Innovative, and Saves, with Simulation
“We have a clearly defined goal: economical casting production with consistently high quality."

Axle Producer Sees a Better Design
“When our customer creates a new axle design they’ve got to make sure that the actual oil flow within the transfer case is what they envision it to be.”

Predicting Core Shooting, Drying, and Defect Development
Modeling can quickly and inexpensively ensure the effectiveness of core designs

MAGMA5 Coordinates Process Information, Perspectives to Reveal the Entire Production Process for Parts
"First understand, then optimize"

Simulation Predicts Shrinkage Porosity in Large Ferrous Castings
Shrinkage porosity is the most common solidification defect for metalcastings, but it's a particular problem in ferrous alloys because solidification can be complicated if dissolving carbon partly precipitates as graphite with a lower density than the base iron.

3D Systems Acquires Express Pattern
STL system developer continues to grow its prototyping and patterns service

Putting Theory into Practice
As rapid prototyping gets more sophisticated and rapid manufacturing techniques are developed, business models emerge for metalcasters wishing to adopt faster or more customer-focused processes.

Littler Uses Simulation to Reveal Defects, and Win a New Order
With no previous knowledge of the problems with the design for an aerospace component, or the product's defects, the diecaster used simulations with Flow-3D to pinpoint the defects. They discovered that porosity problems were happening in two locations — a finding that was confirmed later by the customer.

$100 Million Modernization Announced for Waterloo, IA Foundry
Deere & Company to invest in advancing casting designs, manufacturing technologies

Contract Placed for AMC Research Program
“Superior Weapons Systems through Castings” aims for predictive tools, redesign components, and better critical part geometries

J. Walter Miller Co. Selects ESI Software
As part of transition to automated molding process

Simulating Porosity Factors
Numerical modeling tools are commonplace, but the core-gas blow defect is rarely understood because the causes are so difficult to determine. FLOW-3D software helps model core-gas flow, leading to better quality castings

NSF Seeking Corporate Partners to Research Metal Recovery/Recycling
R&D centers at universities will focus on new energy-saving technologies

CastExpo ‘10 Preview
A week in the sun never sounded so good. For metalcasters enduring weak demand and idle production, the fresh ideas and technical insights upcoming at CastExpo will seem even more welcome than a few days of warm weather and relaxation.

Flow Science, AlchemCast in Consulting Agreement
Metalcasting researchers will support CFD software developer

Core-Gas Generation and Defect Prediction
Having a way to predict (and thereby avoid) defects caused by core gas, and to simulate associated foundry processes, can lead to significant cost savings.

Oshkosh, Eck Industries Join Nanotech Research
NIST-funded program aims for large, lightweight castings for trucks

Hand-Held Scanner Reduces Modeling Time to Two Months
A portable device is capable of capturing 3D geometry from components of virtually any size, including a large-scale diesel engine block.

Developers Introduce New Casting Simulation Program
New CAE technique from CD-adapco, Access provides comprehensive process for multiphase simulation
