Die-casting components are getting bigger and bigger
The automotive casting industry is in transformation. Driven by advancing technology, components become bigger and bigger. Big castings offer numerous advantages, including cost and time savings in vehicle production, integration of functionality, and the reduction of overall vehicle weight. New vehicle architectures open doors for innovative ideas and even more development projects. These advancements create historical challenges for both car manufacturers and suppliers alike. To fully exploit these advantages, components need to be designed and developed with casting expertise from the very beginning.
