Zero-defect methodology powered by solidification simulation, eliminating shrinkage cavities, air locks, and hot tears before tooling begins.
At Growell Industries, no steel die is manufactured until the gating, feeding, and thermal cooling have been fully simulated in AutoCAST-X software. This rigorous approach saves our clients weeks of costly trial-and-error modifications and high probability of getting first casting right.
Our design engineering cell works collaboratively with OEM design teams to refine component geometry for optimum castability.
We accept 3D models in STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), SolidWorks (.sldprt), Creo / Pro-E (.prt), and 2D PDFs or DXF/DWG formats.
We assist clients in determining proper parting lines, draft angles (1° to 2°), fillet radii, and uniform wall thickness to reduce weight while increasing structural stiffness.
Coordinating casting datum points with secondary CNC machining fixtures ensures seamless part alignment and eliminates cumulative dimensional stack-up errors.
