CIVS presented the latest developments on its virtual reality die casting simulator at the 2021 North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) Congress and Tabletop event held at the Indianapolis Convention Center from October 4th to 6th. CIVS Researcher John Moreland presented a paper and CIVS also hosted a booth with VR headsets for live demonstration.

The Die Casting Simulator is being created to improve operator understanding about how the die casting machine and melter furnaces work, and lets them practice common and abnormal situations for operation and maintenance, resulting in improved casting quality, energy and cost savings, accelerated onboarding of new operators, and improved safety.
