Lightweight construction is currently a dominant theme in the automotive industry. The latest emission standards and CO2 fleet requirements of governments are forcing our customers to find new ways to reduce the weight of the vehicle. This ranges from lighter, yet more stable crankcases via weight-optimized chassis parts.Today new developments in the field of sand core production, casting machines and process technology allow structural parts and crankcases to be produced with the low-pressure casting.

Low Pressure Casting

A traditional casting technology helping to step ahead for light weight solutions in engine block manufacturing
