Frequently asked questions
What software do partner foundries use for casting simulation?
Foundry partners use MAGMASOFT and NovaCast simulation packages to model mould filling dynamics, thermal gradients, solidification time, and shrinkage porosity.
How does solidification simulation improve casting yield?
It allows virtual optimization of gating channels, chillers, and feeder sleeves before metal pattern tooling is cut, achieving first-time-right pilot casting runs.
