The Visiometa Workflow - Part III: Optimization
Over the course of this series of articles, we show how the use of fast numerical algorithms is revolutionizing the planning of casting processes. Today we will take a closer look at the geometric part optimization workflow.
Reducing Carbon Emissions in Foundries
Visiometa revolutionizes the foundry industry by reducing carbon emissions through optimized casting processes. By minimizing scrap rates, maximizing yield and reducing the need for physical prototypes, Visiometa helps finding sustainable solutions for a greener future.
The Visiometa Workflow - Part II: Development
In the latest installment of our feature series, we explain how the incredibly high computational speed of the modulus analysis helps to enable a completely new type of integrated workflow that is so far unique in the world of foundry software.
The 65. Austrian Foundry Conference in Schladming
Last week we attended the Austrian Foundry Conference (Österreichische Gießereitagung), which was held in Schladming under the motto "Accepting challenges and being prepared for the future".
The Visiometa Workflow - Part I: Performance
We have been asked on social media about the utility of fast modulus computation, when conventional thermal analysis can also be done in a relatively short time today. So we decided to demonstrate the difference between "quite quickly" and "real fast" for you.
Aloys Heuvers: Inventor of the Circle Method
The Heuvers Circle Method is one of the first published techniques for controlling solidification and evaluating the castability of a component. It is so easy to use that it is still frequently applied today despite all the advanced technical possibilities.
Nicolas Chvorinov: A Brief Look at his Legacy
The solidification modulus establishes a relationship between the volume-surface ratio of a simple casting and its solidification time. The idea goes back to a famous article by Nicolas Chvorinov, whose birthday we want to commemorate today.
31st Ledebur Colloquium in Freiberg
The Ledebur Colloquium is a well-known event in the German foundry industry. For the Visiometa team it was a great opportunity to share knowledge, meet new people and present the benefits of our products and services.
Castforge 2022 - Visiting the International Exhibition in Stuttgart
Following its great debut four years ago, the CastForge trade fair was again successful at its second edition from June 21 to 23 this year. The number of exhibitors from the fields of foundry and forging technology have already more than doubled compared to the first event.
