Wall Colmonoy Limited (UK) Gets it Right the First Time with ESI ProCAST


We did a lot of research into the different virtual prototyping software companies out there, but for us, ESI came out at the top as they could provide the best software that met our requirements. The introduction of ESI ProCAST has allowed us to optimize our product development process – delivering new products quicker and expanding our capabilities
Challenge
Before utilizing simulation software, Wall Colmonoy Limited (WCL), based in Pontardawe, South Wales, UK, used to leverage their engineering manpower, and brainpower, in order to produce perfect castings. Not only did running physical trials consume valuable time and resources but it did not guarantee they would achieve a defect-free part in the end.
Story
Wall Colmonoy is a leading global materials engineering group of companies engaged in the manufacturing of surfacing and brazing products, castings, and engineered components across aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, mining, energy, and other industrial sectors. WCL manufactures precision cast components, predominately by investment and sand casting. Read full story.

Benefits
By introducing ESI ProCAST into their part development process, Wall Colmonoy Limited (WCL) has been able to manufacture their casting right the first time; an objective they strive for every time. They no longer consume time and resources making physical prototypes on the shop floor. Instead, they validate and optimize the manufacturing process before hitting the shop floor.
