CASTIRGALU generates own knowledge and technology through the in-house R&D projects. Many of these projects have special emphasize in the potential of digital applications and IoT (Internet of Things). Our RDI activities foster the translation of creative and innovative scientific ideas, expertise and knowledge into valuable propositions to foundries, bringing science to business.
We actively collaborate with casting users and OEMs to generate access to and exchange of future demands and requirements for foundries. We build and maintain strategic alliances with other skilled specialists, renowned scientist and companies that provide state of the art equipment or share dedicated and versatile pilot plant facilities. The goal is to contribute to significant advances in foundry materials and processes to satisfy these future demands and to support innovation and maximize value of knowledge within foundries. Behind every CASTIRGALU project there is an added value that makes what we develop unique. We do not stop at the first solution but investigate and constantly learn to offer smart solutions. For us RDI means:
- Solve problems related to materials and processes
- Create solutions for specific problems or customer needs
- “Blue sky” efforts to push the technological boundaries of materials and processes
We focus on developing advanced materials and technology that after being transferred to the industry become competitive business opportunities for our clients. This innovation is the result of accumulated experience, knowledge and advanced concepts during years.
