• Pressures up to 92,000 kN; ~CHF 10M per system.

Technical approach

As reported

Single-shot parts

Complex shapes in one casting

Eliminates welding and assembly versus stamped designs.

Pressure capability

Up to 92,000 kN clamp force

Fills complex dies in aluminum and magnesium at speed.

Battery structures

EV frame housings

Casts battery enclosures, floor pans, side frames lighter than welded.
