SIMPLAC doubles the production rate of a VW part with ESI’s die casting simulation software
Casting
Ground Transportation
Thanks to ProCAST, SIMPLAC helps VW part supplier to increase its production rate by a factor of 2.2 and reduced the scrap rate. Engineers were able to simulate the complete Die Casting process including DCM selection. These benefits demonstrate why virtual tests and prototypes are mission-critical to innovation and lightweight parts.
Using ProCAST, SIMPLAC’s engineers quickly identified and anticipated the main issues related to filling and solidification during the feasibility stages in the early phases of the project. We were able to properly define and design a gating system that met the quality requirements VW required.
