Traditional experimental techniques for the study and analysis of foundry processes are hardly executable because of the nature of the process. On the other hand such studies are very important to improve the competitiveness of companies involved.

XC Engineering, using and selling the software FLOW-3D Cast, is the ideal partner in the study of all casting processes through numerical simulations, such as thermal die cycling, filling and solidification.

Typical applications include:

• defect prediction in the pieces, such as oxides or shrinkages
• high pressure die casting
• low pressure die casting
• tilt pouring
• gravity casting
• continuous casting
• sand cores blowing
• centrifugal casting
• filling with plastic
