The Heuvers Circle Method is one of the first published techniques for controlling solidification and evaluating the castability of a component. It is so easy to use that it is still frequently applied today despite all the advanced technical possibilities.

The solidification modulus establishes a relationship between the volume-surface ratio of a simple casting and its solidification time. The idea goes back to a famous article by Nicolas Chvorinov, whose birthday we want to commemorate today.

The Ledebur Colloquium is a well-known event in the German foundry industry. For the Visiometa team it was a great opportunity to share knowledge, meet new people and present the benefits of our products and services.

Following its great debut four years ago, the CastForge trade fair was again successful at its second edition from June 21 to 23 this year. The number of exhibitors from the fields of foundry and forging technology have already more than doubled compared to the first event.

The international die casting industry meets at the biggest trade fair for die casting for the 15th time. Our engineers visited the exhibition and had many interesting conversations.
Visiometa is the fruit of an exceptional interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists. Our goal is nothing less than to drive the evolution of the foundry industry through innovation and rethinking. We want to make real-time process planning possible - for everyone.
Visiometa's virtual engineering for metal casting unites foundry technology with process-specific design and rapid validation in one software. Our products are being actively developed on a continuous basis and employ the most advanced computer technology available.
Viable solutions require detailed knowledge. Visiometa's engineers look back on decades of experience with all common metal casting processes. We are committed to synergies that increase the efficiency, sustainability and success of your business.
Continuous development and innovation have their origin in ideas. If these open up the potential for successful implementation and market acceptance, we are ready to contribute our energy to make metal casting fit for the future.
As a German technology company, we are particularly committed to the transition towards a sustainable and resource-efficient industry. Our method enables a massive reduction in the amount of metal circulation and thus in the energy consumption of foundries.
The greatest energy and material savings can be achieved through robust component design tailored to the casting process. Every scrap part must be remelted and consequently adds to your environmental footprint. That is why Visiometa supports you already in the design phase to develop an optimal combination of functionality and castability.
Visiometa can quickly and easily visualize avoidable oversizing of gating and feeding systems. This allows you to realize the potential for sustainable reduction of material and energy consumption with each additional cast. The production margin can be significantly increased - ideally before the first pour!
Visiometa is the key to seal pandora's box. Millions in launching costs are avoidable using this software. Anyone in doubt may give it a try.
Without the speed of Visiometa, we would not be able to bring three new castings per day into production with the same technical reliability.
With Visiometa, we can significantly shorten the development time for new permanent molds. Due to the very fast modulus calculation, we get an immediate statement for different models.
We've used this software to great effect. Combining the design of castings using Prof. Campbell's research with modulus calculation and verification using Visiometa, we have achieved excellent first off casting results. It is a vital tool for us now!
