The software MAGMASOFT® – with MAGMA5 as the latest product – is recognized in the industry as the standard simulation tool at foundries and at the foundries’ customers in mechanical engineering, automotive and other casting demanding segments. Today, more than 1100 companies in 51 countries use MAGMASOFT®, particularly for the optimization of cast components for the automotive and heavy industries.  
 
FOSECO and MAGMA work in close cooperation in the drive to offer improved solutions for the foundry, creating optimized gating and risering systems. Together both partners create real value for the foundryman, supporting improved cost efficiency, quality consciousness and creating robust production scenarios and, finally, enable foundries to provide even more competitive cast-parts.  
 
The basis for this approach is the ability to quantify and model effectively the FOSECO products. This requires the determination of key material properties, using the most advanced measurement techniques. This information is provided to the foundryman via the FOSECO Pro Module; a geometry and material properties database, specifically designed for MAGMASOFT®. Vice versa, MAGMA provided FOSECO with a proprietary suite of casting simulation software, followed by further co-operations in areas of technology development, training and programs to support growth of the global foundry industry.
