The Roland Berger research paper on Gigacasting offers strategic insights but overlooks critical technical details, such as tool lifespan assumptions. While they suggest a tool can handle 100,000 to 150,000 parts, real-world data shows Gigacasting tools for alloys like AlSi7CuMg last only 50,000 to 60,000 shots, significantly impacting cost calculations for production viability.
