Investment Casting Simulation
Achieve Precision Casting with Confidence
Virtually simulate the complete investment casting process to optimize mold filling, eliminate defects, and manufacture high-precision components with superior quality.
What is Investment Casting Simulation?
Investment casting, also known as the lost-wax casting process, is widely used for manufacturing complex, high-precision metal components with excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy. However, the process involves multiple critical stages where improper mold filling, shrinkage, thermal stresses, or solidification issues can affect the final casting quality.
PoligonSoft’s Investment Casting Simulation enables manufacturers to virtually simulate the entire casting process before production. Engineers can analyze metal flow, solidification behavior, thermal distribution, and defect formation to optimize casting design, improve quality, and reduce costly production trials.
Why Investment Casting Simulation?
Investment casting is often used for producing components where precision and reliability are critical. Even minor casting defects can lead to significant quality issues, increased machining costs, or product rejection.
With PoligonSoft, manufacturers can evaluate multiple casting scenarios, validate process parameters, and optimize mold and gating designs before production begins—resulting in improved quality, reduced development time, and greater manufacturing confidence.
Key Features
Mold Filling Analysis
Simulate molten metal flow through intricate mold cavities to ensure complete filling while minimizing turbulence, air entrapment, and misruns.
Solidification Analysis
Predict the solidification sequence to identify hot spots, shrinkage zones, and feeding requirements for improved casting integrity.
Thermal Distribution Analysis
Evaluate heat transfer throughout the mold and casting to optimize cooling behavior and improve dimensional stability.
Defect Prediction
Detect potential casting defects before production, including:
- Shrinkage Porosity
- Shrinkage Cavities
- Misruns
