Digital Twin

What if every production result could help make your next casting process better?

With MAGMASOFT^®, the virtual and real worlds come together in a continuous improvement loop — using simulation to make better design decisions before production, feedback and document production experience back into MAGMASOFT^® to continuously improve future engineering decisions.

The result: less trial and error, lower costs, better quality and more robust processes.

The process does not end when production starts.

VIRTUAL WORLD

SIMULATE
Understand the casting process virtually and evaluate the influence of design and process parameters. Investigate and understand the root causes of defects.

PREDICT
Avoid costly mistakes. Identify potential defects, quality risks and process limitations before they reach production.

OPTIMIZE
Systematically evaluate alternatives and determine better process conditions trough virtual DOE (Design Of Experiments) and statistical analysis.

REAL WORLD

PRODUCE
Transfer optimized process knowledge from MAGMASOFT^® physics based algorithm into your manufacturing.

MEASURE
Capture relevant production and quality information and feedback measured data to learn for further process improvements.

VALIDATE
Compare production results with simulation predictions, understand deviations, and close the continuous improvement loop.

THEN THE LOOP STARTS AGAIN.

What is learned from real production can be used to improve assumptions, refine process understanding and support the next round of simulation and optimization. Transfer knowledge can be systematically applied to other projects.

Virtual knowledge improves production.
Production knowledge improves the virtual process.

Each cycle creates an opportunity to make the process better.

Lower Costs
Improve yield, reduce scrap, rework, physical trials and costly production changes.

Higher Productivity
Identify opportunities to improve cycle time and production efficiency.

Better Quality
Eliminate root causes of defects or negate their impact and continuously improve casting consistency.

More Sustainable Production
Reduce material waste, unnecessary trials and energy consumption.

The process does not end when production starts.

Your casting process experience contains years of valuable engineering and production information.

By continuously comparing simulation predictions with production results, manufacturers transform this experience into documented reusable process knowledge.

Instead of starting from scratch or relying primarily on trial and error and guesswork, teams systematically build on what they have already learned.

Simulate. Produce. Validate. Document. Learn. Improve. Repeat.

Continuous improvement starts with understanding your process.
