Prototype
Casting and InFocus engineers worked closely together on engineering this prototype
casting.
Machined Casting
The successful production of the
prototype illustrates that --
Magnesium was the material of choice for weight and
stiffness, understanding that magnesium casting requires careful process control
Careful casting
design of the thin walls and flow patterns is necessary to produce smooth metal flow and
minimize transitions, which produced castings without microcracking or cold tears.
Optimized
engineering used a single core mold design in this complex piece, reducing die
complexity and cost.
