Our sales representatives will respond with suggestions for further on-site process surveys, casting defect investigations, product testing, tooling start-up programs, statistical process controls and much more. Also, lab facilities are available to provide testing upon request.

Submit your own responses, using our form.

(A video by Flow Science, "Published on Aug 19, 2015, An HPDC simulation where fast shot is automatically triggered when the fluid reaches the gates. The triggering process is automated through the new Active Simulation Control feature that will be released in FLOW-3D v11.1 and FLOW-3D Cast v4.1.")
