Enhancements Help Increase Productivity for Gravity Casting and
High Pressure Die Casting
Paris, France -
October 6, 2016 - ESI Group, a leading
innovator in Virtual Prototyping software and
services for manufacturing industries, announces the new version of
its casting simulation software ESI ProCAST; a
Virtual Manufacturing solution of ESI that enables foundries to
improve the design and quality of the parts they produce. With ESI
ProCAST, they're able to predict manufacturing defects early and
without the need for costly physical try-out. Consequently, they
can correct part design and manufacturing processes well-ahead of
production, achieving lower scrap rates and delivering quality
parts in a consistent way. ProCAST 2016 promises even quicker turnaround times with new workflows
dedicated to Gravity Casting and High Pressure Die Casting. Set-up
time for gravity casting - the most widespread sand casting process
- is reduced to just a few minutes, while the workflow for high
pressure die casting addressed machine selection and bridges the
gap between design and production to deliver increased efficiency
on the shop floor.
Casting simulation helps
industrial manufacturers and foundries comply with new and
increasingly stringent market expectations and achieve the highest
quality and productivity possible. To that end, ESI ProCAST
provides a complete solution, covering all casting processes and
the alloys used in diverse industry sectors and the latest 2016
version focuses on key industrial challenges specifically related
to sand, investment and die casting processes in the automotive,
aerospace and heavy industries.

In regard to sand casting
processes, ESI ProCAST 2016 has been enriched with a dedicated
workflow for gravity casting; enabling simulation set-up within
minutes. Taking all process parameters into account to deliver
highly precise results, this step-by-step approach can be
customized to fit any foundry's specific requirements and
processes, delivering improved usability when repeating tasks. The
new functionality is easy to use and can be mastered by any foundry
man within a few days.

Another notable enhancement to ESI
ProCAST 2016 is the introduction of the machine selection workflow
that draws on a dedicated database for High Pressure Die Casting
(HPDC) machines, including the Colosio machines. The new
functionality enables the user to define the operating point and
operating zone for any machine, using the Pressure (P)-Flow
Rate(Q)² graph. This information is linked to ProCAST's solver to
achieve virtual piston control in real time. Enabling a user to
set-up parameters just as on the real machine, this enhancement
provides a considerable time gain for process-design, and delivers
the possibility to run a virtual benchmark and select the
appropriate machine for specific jobs.
"Finally, a die
casting machine and a simulation software are able to communicate
properly to facilitate the lives of foundries. Transforming reality
into virtual and vice versa is no longer just a project, but a
reality for all our customers," says Davide
Colosio, CEO of Colosio S.r.l
