The simulation shows the filling, solidification, stress, heat treatment and microstructure, identifying metallurgical defects, mechanical properties and deformations. This information is analysed in preview at the computer, in a precise, easy and quick way: this allows you to choose the best solution at the lowest cost<\/strong>. Casting simulators are an essential tool in an ever-demanding market that requires difficult workpieces in very short times, making it no longer possible to make mistakes, try and sample. QuikCAST and ProCAST are simple, quick and exact, and can be used by everyone: by the holder of the workpiece, by the designer, by the die maker and by the metal caster.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation<\/a><\/strong>, world leader in material process simulation. DEFORM simulates the hot and cold forming process, considering the thermal, tensile and deformation phenomena related to it. It can be used to simulate an entire metal forming process, starting from cooling of the billet in the passage between heating furnace to the mould, to deformation, until opening of the finish mould with the forecast of the springback.<\/p> Complex heading operations can be simulated with a considerable amount of moulds\/punches which are subject to non-linear movement kinematics, with floating or armoured moulds.<\/p> DEFORM is excellent in the hot and cold forming of steel, brass and of new applications with aluminum.<\/p> The simulation of metal forging processes was asserted as one of the most valid aids to obtain considerable savings in the design of moulds and in the quality improvement of the moulded pieces. DEFORM software reduces production starting times, allowing the designer to simulate different design solutions for making moulds and the process, before machining the equipment and the sampling phase.<\/p> DEFORM allows designers to streamline the process saving the company money, due to the quality improvement of the componets and less production rejects.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Tecnofirma S.p.A.<\/a><\/strong> Tecnofirma S.p.A. has been working for sixty years in the field of the treatment of plastic and metal surfaces. Its experience in the industrial washing and coating sectors is renowned worldwide. Through the constant commitment of companies to reach new and ever more efficient quality standards, the issue of cleaning the products took on a prominent place in the machining cycles of the production processes.<\/p> Alongside the line below called standard systems, including machines mainly designed to degrease and de-oil products still contaminated by cooling lubricants through sprinkling with water added to specific detergents, Tecnofirma developed an ever more consistent number of special systems throughout the years, made-to-measure to meet customer requirements. These are systems which, thanks to the precise positioning of the product to be treated and to particular engineering measures, guarantee the careful removal of machining swarf, even (as in the case for high-pressure washers) the elimination of precarious burrs from critical recesses (holes, undercuts, threads, hydraulic channels, etc.).<\/p> These innovative solutions, made-to-measure to address particular requirements, have often been promoted by the market becoming actual reference standards in the plant engineering sector of industrial washing.<\/p> Tecnofirma, through its internal research laboratory, can test processes before industrializing them, with products and different resins and application and firing systems going from traditional convection, to UV to microwave.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"La](\"https:\/\/www.ecotre.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/lorenzo_valente_ufficio.png\")
