Design – cast components

The process from concept to finished component design will be illustrated through some examples where we use the latest methods to simulate cast components. We will look at additive manufacturing as a tool to produce the final component.

For people working as a designer of cast components this course will give a broad overview of guidelines and methods used when designing castings. Procurement engineers or purchaser may also benefit from this course to increase their knowledge on how different parameters will affect the cost for cast components.

Content

The course consists of the following content:

• Topology optimization
• General design rules e.g. wall thickness / sections
• Processes / casting methods
• Material selection
• Directional solidification
• Simulation
• AM-cast, hybrid AM for the foundry industry.
