Bringing together experts, decision-makers, and researchers from all stages of the cast component life cycle, the congress offers a platform for exchanging groundbreaking ideas and builds a shared vision for the future of high-performance, efficient cast components. The congress covers key disciplines such as Structural Durability, Non-destructive Testing, Product Development, Foundry Technology and Simulation. It provides space for those who seek to shape the future of cast components through networking, collaboration, and innovation. The papers presented emphasize the integration of methodologies and expertise across disciplines, with a focus on delivering effective and enhanced cast components. The event also provides valuable insights to foundries, designers, cast component users, and experts in simulation, structural durability, and non-destructive testing, offering a unique opportunity to explore new casting materials, advanced testing techniques of component, and reliable designs optimized for lightweight construction.<br> For more information: www.inceight-casting.comenoptimized cast componentsnon-destructive testingfoundry technologystructural durabilitylightweight constructionproduct development600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::670 Industrielle Fertigung::670 Industrielle Fertigungconference proceeding
