GN 24 - The Race to the highest Clamping Force
Welcome to our 24th Gold Nugget, where we interview Peter Sell from ItalPresseGauss about the Giant Castings. IPG just released their toggle-free 11.000-ton press, so the question is: Where is the economic limit of Gigacasting?
Peter describes it best when he says: “Don’t think of your castings as parts! Think of them as money. And how many 100-dollar bills do you want to make wrong?”
Based on that quote, we explore what you need to run a profitable foundry, independent of machine size. We also discuss the additional complexity of scaling a matchbox toy into a real car.
