MAGMA at GIFA SEA 2025
MAGMA Singapore highlighted its leadership in casting process optimization at GIFA Southeast Asia 2025, held on 17–19 October 2025 at BITEC Bangkok, presenting real customer case studies, onsite casting defects discussions, and daily live demonstrations.
The company’s booth featured casting parts from customers, each paired with a simulation case study. Visitors experienced how MAGMASOFT® enables foundries to reduce scrap, improve yield and solve production challenges by linking virtual simulations with real production results.
A major attraction was the Casting Defects Clinic, where visitors brought their own parts and photos for on-the-spot analysis. MAGMA engineers reviewed issues such as porosity, shrinkage, hot tears, and cold cracks, demonstrating how simulation identifies root causes and supports corrective measures.
"The combination of real casting case studies, and live problem-solving gave visitors a holistic view of what simulation can deliver, showing that solutions can be effective, practical, and economically feasible," said Luciana Stuewe, Chief Operating Officer at MAGMA Singapore.
Daily live demonstrations of Low Pressure Die Casting, Cast Iron, and High Pressure Die Casting showed how design and process adjustments can positively affect filling, solidification, and reduce defect risks.
"From attending the live demo presentation, I realized that starting a new project or introducing a new model is no longer a difficult task. The simulation program serves as a powerful tool that supports design, trial and error, and performance evaluation—whether it’s related to defects, air entrapment, which are common in HPDC, or cooling system design. The program can highlight hot spots on the part, enabling us to design more easily and efficiently. I am glad I had the opportunity to join the session." commented Mr. Jeerasan Kamthornsawat, Supervisor Engineer, Mitsubishi Electric Automation (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
In addition, MAGMA application engineer Auttachai Utsajai delivered a presentation titled “A New MAGMASOFT® Perspective on Cost & CO₂ Footprint Calculations,”. The session introduced MAGMA ECONOMICS, which integrates cost estimation and environmental impact into simulation for smarter, more sustainable decision-making.
Through interactive exhibits and innovative tools, MAGMA Singapore reaffirmed its commitment to enabling foundries worldwide to achieve cost-efficient, high-quality, and sustainable casting processes.
