Project
Re-design of an aluminum welded construction into an aluminum cast part
Description: The original design was assembled from laser-cut sheet metal parts. The processes of laser cutting, milling, and welding were replaced with the sand casting method.
Advantages
- Shorter lead time
- Appealing appearance through homogeneous contours instead of angular welded joints
- Cost reduction
- No distortion stresses from weld joints
- Reduction in pressure leakage potential
- Cast-in cooling pipes
