Case Study: vonRoll casting achieves complex free‑form castings and reduces throughput time by up to two‑thirds with Dassault Systèmes' CATIA

vonRoll casting - Customer Case Study

vonRoll casting, a Swiss foundry with around 600 employees and over 180 years of experience, produces complex cast components from manhole covers to ventilated brake discs. Because casting depends on flow, filling and solidification, designs must account for draft angles and flow properties—requirements that placed heavy demands on their CAD system, leading vonRoll casting to adopt Dassault Systemes’ CATIA (with the NC module).

Dassault Systemes provided CAD-to-CAM continuity via CATIA and the NC module, enabling computer‑assisted design of complex free‑form surfaces and parts with numerous internal cores and repeatable reproduction. As a result, vonRoll casting reduced throughput time by up to two‑thirds and can reliably design and manufacture much more complicated castings.
