Casting simulation with Inspire Cast

We use Inspire Cast to study how metal fills a mold and how a casting cools and solidifies. These simulations help us review filling behavior, solidification time, and areas at risk of shrinkage porosity.

We work with each foundry to develop a rigging system around its casting process. Together, we use the analysis to guide practical recommendations for gating, feeding, risers, and tooling.

When an existing casting has a problem, we can reconstruct the setup in the simulation to evaluate possible causes, compare changes, and refine a proposed solution.

Discuss a casting project

Let’s get to work

Discuss your casting project.

Please share as much detail as possible about your project. Use these questions as a guide and tell us what you know so far.

Helpful details to include

  • Are you developing new rigging or investigating an existing casting problem?
  • What alloy, molding process, and pouring conditions are being used?
  • What casting models and gating, feeding, or riser details are available?
  • What problems have you observed, and where do they appear in the casting?
  • Which foundry is involved, and what improvements, constraints, or target dates should guide the analysis?

Answer what you can and tell us what is still undecided.
