ESI Presents Leading Casting Simulation Software ProCAST at CastExpo 2016
Helping Foundries "Cast it Right the First Time" with Casting Process Analysis &
Collaboration Tools
Paris, France - April 5, 2016 - ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading solution
provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, announces its
participation at CastExpo, 16-19 April 2016 in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Sponsored
by the American Foundry Society (AFS), CastExpo is the largest metal casting
trade show in North America. ESI will showcase on booth 1915 its leading casting
simulation software, ProCAST, which addresses a large number of casting
processes for diverse metals and alloys. Developed over the past 25 years,
ProCAST has helped foundries, big and small, improve cast part quality, reduce
manufacturing defects, and lower scrap rates.
ESI ProCAST is a versatile, precise and comprehensive casting simulation
solution, enabling foundries to tackle easily both typical and complex casting
issues. Using ProCAST, manufacturers quickly understand and fix casting defects
caused by shrinkage, gas porosity, mis-runs, inclusions, and a variety of other
defects linked to microstructure and mechanical evolution. Based on powerful
Finite Element technology, ProCAST expands the scope of typical casting
simulation to stress evaluation that predicts distortion, residual stress, hot
tearing and cracking; addressing both the casting process and subsequent heat
treatment. The software covers typical casting processes from sand casting to
die casting, investment casting and permanent mold casting. Other less common
casting processes or casting-related processes also benefit from ProCAST
modeling. These include semi-solid and core blowing processes, centrifugal
casting, lost foam, and continuous casting.
ESI ProCAST also targets the typical foundry concerns of filling,
solidification, and porosity prediction and provides a simple and efficient
analysis setup without compromising the accuracy of the evaluation. It helps
foundries reduce costs and lead times and is used at all stages of mold and
process development and for cast part quality assessment.
Meet ESI at CastExpo!
Requiring minimal training, ESI ProCAST meets the needs of factory shop floor
technicians as well as it does for experienced casting process engineers. At
CastExpo ESI's technical representatives will run demonstrations of ProCAST and
explain simulation capabilities through case studies. Join ESI on booth 1915 to
meet our Technical Engineers and to find out more about Casting Simulation.
Sam Scott, ESI North America, will deliver a technical presentation entitled
"Effective Gating for Copper Alloy Sand Castings" in the technical session
"Quality Pouring Practices to Achieve Clean Castings" during the Copper Alloys
track, on Saturday April 16, 2016 at 9:15 AM. Sam will demonstrate gating and
risering strategies to obtain high quality castings - targeting methods
applicable to copper, but also valid for a wide variety of other alloys.

About ESI Group
ESI is a world-leading provider of Virtual Prototyping software and services
with a strong foundation in the physics of materials and Virtual Manufacturing.
Founded over 40 years ago, ESI has developed a unique proficiency in helping
industrial manufacturers replace physical prototypes by virtually replicating
the fabrication, assembly and testing of products in different environments.
Virtual Prototyping enables ESI's clients to evaluate the performance of their
product and the consequences of its manufacturing history, under normal or
accidental conditions. By benefiting from this information early in the process,
enterprises know whether a product can be built, and whether it will meet its
performance and certification objectives, before any physical prototype is
built. To enable customer innovation, ESI's solutions integrate the latest
technologies in high performance computing and immersive Virtual Reality,
allowing companies to bring products to life before they even exist.
Today, ESI's customer base spans nearly every industry sector. The company
employs about 1000 high-level specialists worldwide to address the needs of
customers in more than 40 countries. For further information, visit www.esi-
