Gigacasting: Revolutionising Automotive Manufacturing

What are the Benefits of Gigacasting?

• 1. Fewer Parts, Greater Efficiency

  Gigacasting eliminates the need for numerous smaller parts by producing large, structural components, such as an entire front underbody or even a full vehicle body, which streamlines production.

• 2. Better Stress Distribution

  Single-cast parts have fewer weak points compared to traditional multi-part welded structures as stresses are more uniformly distributed.

• 3. Speeds Up Production

  Gigacasting reduces assembly time and accelerates production cycles, helping manufacturers bring products to market faster.

• 4. Long-Term Cost Savings

  While the initial investment in giga die-casting equipment is considerable, long-term savings and increased efficiency make it a valuable investment, reducing material waste and labour costs over time. Due to the high initial investment costs of giga die-casting machines, sand casting can be cheaply and effectively used to prototype the gigacastings. An invaluable stage in bridging the gap between concept and full-scale production.

• 5. Enhanced Flexibility

  Gigacasting’s reduction in parts provides greater flexibility in design and manufacturing, improving supply chain efficiency.

• 6. New Solutions for Car Body Construction

  Gigacasting solves engineering challenges like integrating new core parts, such as battery trays, especially for electric vehicles.

• 7. Precision and Accuracy

  Gigacasting can deliver exceptional dimensional accuracy, surpassing traditional welded structures and ensuring superior component quality and uniformity.
