Case Study: AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri achieves faster, more precise die-cast tooling and reduced rework with Altair's NovaFlow&Solid

AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri - Customer Case Study

AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri, a 35‑employee high‑pressure aluminum die‑casting firm in Vrigstad, Sweden (600 t/year, €4M revenue), struggled with time‑consuming, unsustainable trial‑and‑error when developing and repairing tools and producing delicate parts. To overcome this, the company partnered with Altair and adopted the NovaFlow&Solid simulation software to predict casting defects, validate tool designs up front, and avoid costly physical iterations.

Using Altair’s NovaFlow&Solid, tool manager Mattias Melin runs daily virtual simulations to troubleshoot, optimize thermal balance and ensure first‑time‑right tool designs — for example, enabling reliable six‑part brochure holder castings that would otherwise have frozen or failed. The Altair solution cut rework and material waste, accelerated development cycles, and improved consistency across AB Lundbergs Pressgjuteri’s 600‑ton annual production, yielding clear time, cost and environmental benefits.
