Design department

The Simiński-Ordon Cast Iron Foundry has its own design department, what definitive accelerates the execution of an order. We provide professional support of many years of experience in the design of castings. Our qualified employees are willing to help and advise.

Every order is sent to the design department, where on the basis of provided technical requirement or pattern, we design 3D blocks using CAD software. Then, to avoid errors, each project is transferred to the simulation program of filling and solidification forms – NOVAFLOW & SOLID 6.0. This enable to conduct optimization before perform all the toolings, which positive affects on quality of products. Knowledge and experience of our designers, combined with innovation technology, allow us to meet the expectations of demanding clients and realize the most complex projects.

Each project, after achieving a positive result in the simulation program, shall be forwarded to the machining department, where pattern plates are performed. Its production is carried out by using the software Esprit. Engineers of design department develop individual software machining programs which are sent to the CNC machining center (3 or 5 axial). This allows us to implement highly sophisticated tooling, maintaining the highest parameters of accuracy.

On the next stage the technician sets the pouring parameters including: composition of the cast iron, temperature of poring, necessary to apply filters.

After perform a tooling and determine all the parameters of the process there is high time for testing. Everything is systematically verify by the quality control department, so that making decision of permitting a product to a production stage didn’t questionable.

We are always ready to respond to the expectations of the customer, which is why we allow to prepare pattern plates at the headquarters of the Contractor. In this case, our engineers develop the project of 3D blocs and send technical drawings to the customer. Already performed patterns plate are sent back to the Simiński-Ordon Cast Iron Foundry and then process of casting production is started.

Below we present how it is running a simulation of the solidification process.
