ECOTRE VALENTE: the future of the foundry is called virtualization
Ecotre Valente srl is ESI Group’s value added partner for Casting solutions ProCAST & QuikCAST, with exclusivity in Italy & business agreements in DACH region. Ecotre comes with a strong foundry background and a huge expertise in structural die casting for automotive sector."The simulation software translates mother nature into mathematical equations and allows the emergence and formation of shrinkage porosity, gas porosity, cracking and all other typical defects of metallurgy to be predicted in a scientific way. At EUROGUSS, visitors and customers will be able to appreciate the skills and professionalism of the ECOTRE team and the efficiency of the simulation software in creating a real predictive virtual twin", confirms Lorenzo Valente, CEO of ECOTRE. Simulation today is essential to operate in a market that requires the production of difficult parts quickly and leaves no room for errors, tests and resampling.
«Today it is no longer allowed to make mistakes. If before it was normal to take a year to produce a piece, today it can reach a maximum of 2-3 months. Products and components are increasingly sophisticated, the deadlines are increasingly tight ». For this reason, in order to remain competitive on the market, the predictive aspect of simulation software is essential: "Producing virtually allows you to know today what will happen in months, saving time and saving what it would be necessary to invest in tests and subsequent corrections and quality controls".
