Our technical center bridges the gap between fundamental theoretical research and industrial applications. With our extensive range of machinery, we can simulate, analyze, and optimize real-world casting processes under conditions that closely resemble those of mass production. Our focus is on innovative lightweight construction solutions and the further development of resource-efficient casting processes.
