In Gold Nugget 46, which MAGMASOFT sponsored, your hosts, Staffan Zetterström and Fabian Niklas, are joined by Dr. Horst Bramann from Magma to dive into how advanced casting simulation is revolutionising risk mitigation, sustainability, and digital transformation in the foundry industry.

Key Takeaways:

* DOE-Driven Simulation: Horst walks through Magma’s Design of Experiments approach, showing how running multiple gating layouts and process parameters in one project yields statistically robust insights for defect prevention and tool longevity.

* Front-Loading Sustainability & Cost: The new Magma Economics modules embed cost and CO₂ footprint assessments directly into early‐stage simulation, aligning quality metrics with environmental and financial targets.

* From Virtual to Reality: Global support via Magma Academy, Magma Interact data sharing, and integration with FE tools create a closed‐loop between simulation and production—feeding measured results back into continuous improvement.

* Autonomous Engineering & AI: Parametric geometry libraries and AI-driven assistants are already automating gating and overflow design, paving the way for next-gen topology optimisation and truly autonomous foundry engineering.
