Casting technology is a growing area. Radio frequency (RF) induction melting combined with either gravity casting or the new Constrained Rapid Induction Melting Single Shot Up-Casting (CRIMSON) process gives a unique capability.

Improving resource efficiency by reducing energy and water usage, and by dematerialisation, underpins the specific process understanding. Computer models which simulate casting processes are used to provide solutions to companies in addition to the expertise of our research staff.

The applied nature of our research in the area of sustainable design and manufacturing results in impact in research and industry. Developments have ranged from new production process technology through to new software products.
