The ProCAST software suite allows you to solve virtually any technological problem related to metal casting!
ProCAST allows you to simulate any casting technology
– any gravity casting (gravity casting, PGS and HTCS, investment casting, etc.);
– casting under controlled pressure (high-pressure casting, low-pressure casting, counter-pressure casting,
vacuum suction casting, etc.);
– centrifugal casting;
– continuous casting;
– lost foam casting.
The ProCAST program allows you to determine
– the distribution of thermal fields in the casting and mold;
– assess the level of stresses arising in the casting and metal tooling;
– allows you to calculate cyclic loads (for example, during injection molding).
ProCAST Meets Manufacturing Challenges
Based on proven finite element technology, ProCAST provides a complete solution covering a wide range of metal and alloy casting processes.
Covering all production tasks for a wide range of casting processes.
Earth, Gravity, and Inclined Casting
Key success factors in gravity casting are related to optimizing the sprue system and eliminating areas of potential shrinkage.
Investment Casting, Shell Mold Casting
ProCAST is well-suited for investment casting. For example, ProCAST can automatically generate a mesh that reflects the shell mold, and it allows for uneven thicknesses and multi-layering.
Thermal radiation and shadowing effects, which are important for high-temperature alloys, are taken into account. ProCAST offers the ability to simulate mold filling, solidification, and microstructure formation. The placement of risers and the use of insulating or exothermic feeds, along with their impact on shrinkage, can be studied on the computer and visualized on-screen to achieve optimal casting quality.
Low-pressure gravity die casting.
To realistically replicate factory conditions, mold operating cycles can be simulated until temperature conditions reach steady state. Calculated temperature fields allow for predicting mold filling and casting solidification.
Process parameters can be adjusted to achieve optimal process quality in the shortest possible time.
ProCAST high-pressure die casting
solves specific high-pressure die casting challenges, such as liquid forging and semi-solid casting. Optimal plunger velocity profiles, gate design, and flowability can be easily determined during simulation, even for thin-walled parts. Thermomechanical die cycles can be calculated not only to extend the die lifespan but also to improve productivity, thereby reducing risks and costs.
