Welcome to our 17th Gold Nugget! In this episode, we discuss the latest development in the HPDC industry, Gigacasting. The HPDC industry was in a sort of wake coma for 30 years without major developments until Tesla blew the door open with their gigantic Gigacastings. Very soon, Asian OEMs followed their tracks, and now it has become the to-go variant for car manufacturing.

Yet, what are the difficulties of scaling up castings that quickly to impressive sizes? What can be done to prevent them, as the budgets are there? Also, we shine a light on the opportunities for people wanting to advance in their careers. We cannot cover all the points, but we have started to invite people to talk and discuss all the following aspects with industry experts.

This podcast is about how to make money in the foundry industry. Is there any money, or is it just squeezing everyone to save cents? So, we're not talking about properties, microstructures, atoms, or casting parameters. We want to speak to anyone in the industry.

See you in the comment section, or you'll hear us again on April 11th with our first interview on that topic!

Best regards,

Staffan and Fabian
