This Is the Future of the Foundry!

Edith Weiser and Maria-Luise Liepe reminded us that good castings do not begin in the furnace, but in the sand.

It is a principle that holds true far beyond the realm of foundry technology: quality is created at the very beginning of the process chain—or not at all.

The dynamic duo explained that the foundry industry faces the challenge of making its processes simultaneously more climate-friendly, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.

In their view, modern vacuum technology—particularly in the preparation of molding materials—offers immense potential, as it can significantly reduce energy consumption, scrap rates, and emissions.

Furthermore, they emphasized that digital inline measurement systems and intelligent software solutions will play a pivotal role in the future in ensuring consistent sand quality and reproducible processes.

Overall, Ms. Weiser and Ms. Maria-Luise Liepe see the future of the industry in the close integration of sustainable process engineering, digitalization, and intelligent resource management.
