NovaCast Foundry Solutions

NovaCast Foundry Solutions was established 26 years ago by Mr Rudolf Sillén, a foundry engineer who saw the possibilities of using computers to improve foundry processes. The first pioneering systems, implemented on APPLE II computers, were systems for gating and risering. Since then the company has grown considerably but the main business idea of providing know-how and technology to winners in the foundry industry has prevailed.

Today NovaCast’s products are used by leading foundries in 42 countries. The products are used for methoding of castings (gating & risering), simulation of mould filling and solidification. NovaCast also have considerable experience in the metallurgical field and also in expert systems technology. These assets have been used to develop metallurgical process control tools based on advanced thermal analysis. NovaCast have also developed methods for production of castings in compacted graphite iron that are marketed by its fully owned subsidiary, Graphyte AB.

  • Foundry Tech III – Software for gating & risering

  • NovaFlow & Solid – Simulation system for mold filling and solidification

  • NovaFlow HPD – Simulation system for high pressure die casting

 Products for optimization and process control:

  • MetalMaster – Charge optimisation

  • ATAS – Adaptive Thermal Analysis for gray and ductile iron

  • PQ-DIT – Prime Quality Ductile Iron Technology
