Since its inception in 2011, Castle has established itself as a totally innovative product in the field of die-casting simulation. Designed by PiQ² specifically for the die-casting industry, including foundries and mold makers, Castle has experienced continuous growth...
Just as it happened in the plastic industry several years ago, thanks to the newest breakthrough in technological developments achieved by the German company Ferrofacta, the Hot Runner Injection System is ready to change the world of zamak die-casting. Up today, the...
In recent years, the automotive industry has seen the transition from a market mainly dominated by endothermic engines (fossil fuels – methane, diesel, and petrol) towards a significant share of electric vehicles of various types (from hybrid to full electric)....
One of the sectors in which PiQ² software finds a fruitful field of application is that of aesthetic design parts and fashion accessories in Zamak, zinc alloy. PiQ² has always collaborated with companies in this sector in the three large districts of the Italian...
In the previous article we analyzed the PQ2 diagram of the injection shot-end. We understood that it is necessary to predict how the machine can deliver the energy to fill the mold cavity with metal. Now, by drawing the PQ2 curve of the mold, we will see how the metal...
Now let’s see what the PQ² diagram of a press is and why it is essential to understand how to correctly size the mould. What is the PQ² diagram? The PQ² diagram of the press graphically expresses how the injection unit, that is the hydraulic system...
