• Reduction of development and production start-up costs
The Advantages of the Digital Twin by FEINGUSS BLANK Different versions or iterations can be digitally tested finding the best possible option. The concept is reinforced by utilizing various methods of additive manufacturing. Once the design has been fixed, advanced samples and/or prototypes can be quickly produced using 3D printing technology. Cost- intensive tool production is no longer necessary. This combination of digital preparation and rapid availability of the initial components makes the difference. This saves development time and costs while significantly reducing the time to market introduction. In addition to cost savings, our
customers benefit from project security by having a reliable, competent development partner. Originally, the wheel carrier, which was part of the development project in the production cooperation, was fully machined. Now, with the help of our development know- how and corresponding simulations, the optimized casted geometry was developed based on application loading and further enhanced for the casting process. The Digital Twin demonstrated its
customer benefits and significance for the industry at the 2019 Newcast trade fair in Düsseldorf. Since the birth of NEWCAST
2003, the NEWCAST Award has been presented during the fair. The award

honors companies that make a special contribution to the further development of the foundry industry, in the following categories: • Best substitution for another production process
• Best function integration • Best lightweight solution Before the fair, all exhibitors had the
opportunity to submit new developments entries for the award. FEINGUSS BLANK also started in two categories, the best functional integration and the best lightweight solution. During the award ceremony, FEINGUSS BLANK received the award in the category “The Best Lightweight Solution”. “By using simulations in connection
with the casting process, investment castings are optimized in such a way

that material and costs can be saved. The combination of experience and modern simulation software enables faster development and major leaps in development,” explained Lionel Genesi, Head of Industrial Sales at FEINGUSS BLANK, at the award ceremony. He expressed his gratitude for the award and the associated honor for the achievements of all employees of the company. When asked how he sees the use
and importance of simulation programs for the foundry industry in the future, he spoke out in favor of digitization and the use of simulation programs: “It is important that we also continue to develop in the foundry industry and use new technologies in order to be able to survive in global competition.”
