Reduce Turnaround Times with Casting Simulation Solution ESI ProCAST 2016
Latest 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

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
