Maximum Speed with Investment Casting: FEINGUSS BLANK Develops Smart Lightweight Solution for Motor Racing


W


eight savings is essential in racing. The competitive advantage can be gained with


the best, light weight design. Every gram that can be saved on the racing car can make it faster and more agile. Victory or defeat can be determined by only one millisecond. FEINGUSS BLANK developed


the best investment casting solution for such a racing car using the Digital Twin performance package. As part of a manufacturing cooperation and using our know-how, FEINGUSS BLANK was able to significantly reduce the component weight. FEINGUSS BLANK has developed and successfully implemented this service package to our customers. Thanks to new technologies, an investment casting part can be fully optimized by utilizing the Digital Twin package before a single part is manufactured.

BLANK is the key to sustaining customer added value. By implementing modern simulation methods, it is possible to simulate the essential steps in production and identify and eliminate possible concerns at an early stage. The Digital Twin service package


includes the following features, among others: • Material Simulation What is the right material and heat treatment for the respective application?


• FEM Calculation


Does the component withstand the application loading?


• Casting and Solidification Simulation


Can the component be easily and economically cast?


• Topology Optimization Can the geometry be optimized


according to the loads and the casting process?


material


By means of these simulations, recommendations,


feasibility


analysis, and part optimizations can be determined for the customer. Based on the output of the Digital Twin, the following investment casting process can be realized: • A safe, economical process through recognition and utilization of cost saving potentials


• Complex geometries and the processing of difficult materials


• Reduction of processing efforts through highest casting precision combined with intelligent lightweight construction


• Reduction and minimization of development times


• Weight optimization and reduction of material usage
