For the 25th time, the meeting of the Foundry Technology Industry Promotion Group "Innovative Lightweight Casting" took place at the Field of Foundry Technology at the University of Kassel. Together with a total of 27 member companies, research is being conducted into technologies for use in foundries as part of pre-competitive joint projects. The focus of the current funding period is the joint research project "Opportunities and possibilities of rheo-metal technology. Andreas Schilling, Project Leader of the joint research project, presented the current status and research results to the industrial circle and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Fehlbier led the subsequent discussion.

Over good food and cold drinks, the exchange was intensified and possible new collaborations were discussed.

After the lunch break, we continued with an overview of selected research topics at the GTK, the introduction of new employees and a review of the Global GIGA-Casting Congress 2025 as well as the most important technological findings and global strategic differences on the topic of Giga-Casting.

As always, we would like to thank our members for their long-standing support and the high-quality technological exchange. Without the cooperation and support of the foundry industry in teaching and research, it would not be possible!

Good luck!
