Sand Casting Simulation
Predict casting defects before production, optimize manufacturing processes, reduce scrap, and improve casting quality with intelligent simulation technology.
Predict Defects. Optimize Processes. Produce Better Castings.
Simulate every stage of the sand casting process before production to reduce defects, improve yield, and achieve consistent casting quality with PoligonSoft.
What is Sand Casting Simulation?
Sand casting is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes for producing metal components of varying sizes and complexities. However, factors such as improper mold filling, shrinkage, porosity, hot spots, and temperature variations can significantly impact the final casting quality.
PoligonSoft’s Sand Casting Simulation enables manufacturers to virtually simulate the complete casting process before production. By analyzing metal flow, solidification behavior, thermal distribution, and defect formation, engineers can optimize casting parameters and identify potential problems early—saving both time and production costs.
Why Sand Casting Simulation?
Traditional sand casting often relies on multiple production trials to achieve the desired quality. These trials consume time, increase material waste, and delay product development.
With PoligonSoft, manufacturers can validate and optimize the entire casting process digitally before pouring the first mold, helping eliminate uncertainty and improve production confidence.
Key Features
Complete Mold Filling Analysis
Visualize how molten metal flows through runners, gates, and cavities to ensure smooth mold filling and identify turbulence or air entrapment before production.
Solidification Simulation
Analyze the solidification sequence to locate hot spots, predict shrinkage formation, and optimize riser placement for improved feeding performance.
Defect Prediction
Predict critical casting defects including:
- Shrinkage Porosity
- Shrinkage Cavities
- Air Entrapment
- Cold Shuts
- Misruns
- Hot Spots
before actual production begins.
Gating & Feeding Optimization
Evaluate multiple gating and riser designs to achieve better metal flow, improve feeding efficiency, and maximize casting yield.
Thermal Analysis
Study temperature distribution throughout the casting and mold to optimize cooling rates and improve metallurgical quality.
Process Validation
Test different process parameters such as pouring temperature, mold materials, gating dimensions, and cooling conditions to determine the most efficient manufacturing strategy.
