Staffan Zetterström and Fabian Niklas take a closer look at the Rheocasting Masterclass by Casting-Campus GmbH. A practical, business-focused online learning format designed to help the foundry industry unlock new applications and profits with Rheocasting.

Whether you’re an engineer evaluating new processes, a commercial leader searching for fresh revenue streams, or a supplier who wants to understand where the industry is heading, this podcast provides a clear view of why Rheocasting is gaining traction now and how the proper knowledge can unlock an unfair advantage for anyone ready to move first.

Key Insights

* What the Masterclass covers: From solidification and rheological behavior to business development, application design, and market positioning.

* Lower alloy silicon ≠ lower opportunity: How Rheocasting compensates for castability challenges in giga- and megacastings, while improving tool life and performance.

* New applications advantage: Conductivity jumps from ~140 W/mK to nearly 200 W/mK with low-Si alloys, enabling new electronics and cooling concepts.

* Who’s joining?: Strong participation from Italy, the U.S., and India, with foundries, suppliers, and OEMs unified in the need to understand Rheocasting.

* Flexible global access: Six webinars, multiple meetings for different time zones, and a format that works for operators, engineers, sales teams, and management alike.

* Business first: Rheocasting success requires marketing, design collaboration, and early customer involvement; not just buying new equipment.

“Buying the machine is the easy part, the value is created when you build new business with it.”

This episode highlights how rising demand for high-performance components, shrinking automotive volumes, and the push for differentiation make Rheocasting a timely strategic move for foundries. With a format that is affordable, accessible, and designed for real-world implementation, the Masterclass aims to close the gap between technical capability and profitable business execution. It empowers foundries not just to make better parts, but to win new applications, build stronger customer relationships, and take control of their future in a rapidly changing market.
