Yeah but you have to agree that this is the initial process to dial in the press... make lots of castings, make lots of corrections...toss out castings to be remeltedOnce production starts going, they don’t want much inventory lying around. Ideally they pull it from the gigapress and 45 minutes later it rolls off as a truck. Cooling times might slow that a bit, but they don’t want big piles of anything half-finished lying around, thats just stuff to break and stuff to manage.
There are usually piles of test castings lying around prior to production as they get the process dialed in.
