Sand Casting & Shell Moulding
Sand Casting & Shell Moulding
Optimize Gating & Feeding. Eliminate Defects with Precision.
For sand casting and shall mould casting flexibility and complexity, our ProCAST services provide the ultimate digital proving ground. We simulate the entire process—from pour to solidification—to design robust gating systems and ensure sound, shrinkage-free castings, from small components to massive one-off parts.
Services
Key Service Focus :
- Filling & Slag Trapping: Visualize metal flow in complex sand molds to prevent mistruns, cold shuts, and identify optimal slag trap locations.
- Solidification & Shrinkage Analysis: The core of our service. Predict shrinkage cavities and porosity with high accuracy to strategically place risers and chills for directional solidification.
- Riser & Chill Optimization: Scientifically determine the optimal size, shape, and placement of risers and chills to maximize yield and eliminate feeding defects.
- Sand Core Gas & Erosion: Analyze core gas evolution and potential core wash erosion during filling to prevent blowing and sand inclusions.
- Residual Stress & Distortion: Predict warping in large, geometrically complex sand castings to improve as-cast dimensional accuracy.
