Aluminium Die Casting

Rheocasting Expert on Demand

For many foundries, the problem is no longer just declining volumes. As current series-production parts come to an end, excess machine capacity intensifies competition for the next generation of parts, while price pressure makes it increasingly difficult to win new business at profitable margins.

Rheocasting Expert on Demand helps foundries break out of that trap. Casting-Campus supports foundries in identifying more profitable application opportunities, using Rheocasting as a strategic growth lever, and turning that strategy into customer conversations, trial parts, and series production.

Implementing Rheocasting as a Growth Strategy

Rheocasting only creates value when it is implemented in a way that supports both production and business development. Foundries need more than equipment and theory. They need guidance on where the real opportunities are, how to avoid the typical mistakes newcomers make, and how to position the new capability in the market.

That is what Rheocasting Expert on Demand delivers. Casting-Campus helps foundries working with aluminium die casting to implement Rheocasting as a growth strategy — from defining the right applications and guiding the technical path to supporting digital communication, customer conversations, and market entry.

How Rheocasting Expert on Demand works

Rheocasting Expert on Demand helps foundries implement Rheocasting as a growth strategy from the first strategic discussion to series production.

Education and Strategy Development

The collaboration begins with a personalized Rheocasting Masterclass designed to build the technical and commercial foundation for implementation. The first four modules are delivered online as webinars and cover the essential groundwork your team needs, including alloys, solidification behavior, Rheocasting fundamentals, and the relevant process routes. The fifth and sixth modules then take place on site. These workshops focus on applications and go-to-market strategy, while also giving Casting-Campus the chance to assess your foundry directly, including your equipment, technology level, and production capabilities. Based on that, we define the most suitable entry point for Rheocasting, the right machine size, the most promising applications, and the strategy for moving forward.

Marketing and Business Development

Once the direction is clear, the focus moves to communication and business development. Casting-Campus creates the content needed to position your new Rheocasting capability in the market. A bi-weekly content schedule is included in the package, with content marketing pieces that explain what your foundry wants to achieve, why this direction matters, and where the real opportunity lies. This creates the broad market visibility needed to make your strategy visible and credible. At the same time, the service also includes targeted outreach. That means identifying the right people to approach, helping initiate direct conversations, and supporting the business development work needed to bring the right opportunities into the pipeline.

Support in Casting Development

Once the first market conversations turn into concrete opportunities, Casting-Campus supports the project work needed to move them forward. This includes design guidance, review of concepts, and support in reading and interpreting simulations and technical decisions. Casting-Campus does not create CAD drawings or run simulations, but helps foundries and their engineering partners avoid the typical mistakes that newcomers to Rheocasting often make in the early design phase. This is one of the major savings built into the service. By bringing Rheocasting implementation experience into the project early, problems can be prevented before they lead to repeated design loops, additional trial castings, and lost time in front of the customer. The goal is to improve the first pass and give the project a stronger path toward successful implementation.

Trial Castings and Series Production

When the project reaches implementation, Casting-Campus supports the foundry directly through trial castings and the transition into series production. This includes guidance on process setup, integration of the required peripherals, and support in achieving the properties that were promised in the earlier business and technical discussions. Casting-Campus also has established relationships with test centers around the world, making it easier to prepare, organise, and do the first trial castings. Instead of building that structure from scratch, foundries can use Casting-Campus to coordinate and navigate this phase more efficiently. That practical support helps shorten the learning curve, avoid typical implementation mistakes, and move faster from the first trials to stable series production.

Why Foundries use this Service

Rheocasting opens up highly profitable new business opportunities, but the value of this service extends beyond introducing a single new process. Rheocasting pushes beyond the normal limitations of conventional aluminium die casting, and the implementation of that process in your foundry often raises the overall competence level of your team as well.

 

A Faster Path into New Business
That is one of the main reasons foundries use Rheocasting Expert on Demand. The service combines education, strategy, market communication, project guidance, and implementation support in one package. This helps foundries avoid the typical beginner mistakes, shorten the learning curve, and move faster from initial interest to real production.

Higher Competence in everyday Aluminium Die-Casting
At the same time, the benefits are not limited to future Rheocasting projects. The implementation work also helps foundries improve their day-to-day high-pressure die-casting operations. A better understanding of process design, peripherals, tooling requirements, and casting conditions leads to higher technical competence, more stable production, higher OEE, lower rejection rates, and stronger overall equipment effectiveness.

More Visibility for Existing Capabilities
The communication side also creates additional value. While the new Rheocasting capability is being positioned in the market, the same digital communication also enhances visibility of the foundry’s existing high-pressure die-casting competencies. That means the service not only supports future applications. It can also help generate new business for the production assets already in place.

 

The result is not just a better understanding of Rheocasting. It is a more direct path to new business, stronger technical capabilities, and a foundry that becomes more credible, more visible, and better prepared for the next generation of applications.

Commercial Model behind the Rheocasting Expert on Demand

Rheocasting Expert on Demand is designed to give foundries clarity and consistency throughout the Rheocasting implementation. The service is structured so that important questions can be raised early, without the constant concern that every exchange will trigger additional consulting hours. That is a critical part of successful implementation, because the questions people hesitate to ask at the beginning often become much more expensive later in the project.

 

One Monthly Package!
The service is covered through one monthly payment that includes strategic guidance, business development support, communication support, and technical implementation guidance. This gives foundries a predictable framework for introducing Rheocasting without having to build all of the required expertise internally from the beginning.

What is included?
The package integrates education, strategy, communication, project guidance, and implementation support into a single service. That makes it easier to move from the first idea to real production without losing time between separate providers or disconnected responsibilities.

What is billed separately?

The first workshop itself is included in the package. Additional costs arise only for travel to the workshop and for on-site support when trial castings, production implementation, or machine-side assistance are required.

 

This creates a clear and manageable setup for foundries that want continuous guidance from the first strategic discussion to implementation in production.
