Bionic design helps to reduce the CO2 footprint

Lightweight casting components require less material and are therefore more sustainable. But what about production?

Not all of the molten material ends up in the finished component, but is needed for the gating system. Although this part can be 100% recycled, a lot of energy is still required for remelting.

Together with Bionic Mesh Design GmbH and Altair, we are working on a project to reduce the proportion of the gating system in the production process chain and thus its carbon footprint through optimization and casting simulation.
