What Is Investment Casting Simulation Software?
 |
| Investment Casting Simulation Software |
Investment casting simulation software helps foundry engineers design investment casting efficiently reducing casting defects, improving ease of manufacturing, increasing the production cycle, reducing manufacturing cost, reducing casting rejection and increasing the profitability of the casting sections.
Investment casting assists foundry engineers in reducing scrap, reducing tooling costs, reducing rework, increasing savings, reducing market risk and increasing the safety and reputation of the foundry and company.
Helps the confidence in the layout planning, process planning and growth of the foundry as simulation casting before production reduces the risk of production of defective casting due to proper production planning.
Following is the list of investment casting simulation software list used for stimulating investment castings.
Investment castings are produced using the investment casting process.

Investment Casting Simulation Software Analysis
What simulation does investment casting simulation software analyse?
- Analysis of the wax pattern used for the investment casting process.
- Study of molten metal velocity, filling time, filling rate and temperature distribution in every section of the mould cavity.
- The flow of molten metal into complex multi-cavity casting sections.
- Analysis of the ceramic shell design, shell counter, material analysis, reduce shell mould damage, the strength of shell mould, shell cavity, shell volume and shell strength during mould filling and solidification process.
- Study of the thickness of the casting, complexity, thermal stresses, microstructure, counter, shape, size, solidification distribution, weakness in casting, mechanical stresses, core assembly and surface finish of investment casting.
- Analysis and design of core, core defects, insert, pattern, shell and mould cavity.
- Selection of material for insert, pattern, core, moulding paste, wax pattern, ceramic and metal mould.
- Improves and simplifies the investment casting process, reduces maintenance, repairs improves the quality of complex intricate casting.
- Assist and give the confidence to simulate complex asymmetrical parts and components before manufacturing and investment increasing the yield of the casting process without brakeage.
- Improves relationships and transparency between sales, design and manufacturing departments in the foundry.
- Reduction of material wastage, cost, rejection, errors and scrap in the casting process while increasing the satisfaction of management, manufacturing department and sales.
