50,000 kN+ die-casting solutions offer groundbreaking new opportunities for body in white manufacturing – so called megacastings or gigacastings. These large cells, with integrated peripherals, require a well thought-through setup. It all starts with site planning and the set-up of a process for part handling within the die-casting cell and afterwards. Also, the thermal management and spraying process, a clever handling of the return material and the integration of the right peripheral devices are key.

I am wondering if there is any new information here, and I expect that summary to come from the poster. There is an implication that IDRA and Tesla haven't thought the gigapress design and implementstion out but that Buhler has. Is that what you were intending us to get out of this, because having watched this technology unfold over the past few years I do not agree with that. I could see working with another manufacturer to get machines faster but I cannot see them doing that in the middle of a tooling process or a manufacturing run. It would be for a new factory and product. Of course, mine might be fractured guessing/logic.
