In the 2025 edition of Metalurgia, Beckert Tools presents its robust and highly technological portfolio, which combines advanced simulation software, large-scale 3D sand printing and specialized solutions for different metallurgical processes. Highlight for the launch of the new version of PROCAST 2025 and voxeljet’s 3D printing technology, both aimed at optimizing processes, reducing costs and increasing quality in the manufacture of metal parts.
Beckert also reinforces its performance as a partner of Brignone & Associados, a company that since 1994 has been supplying machinery and technology to the metallurgical industry in South America, serving sectors such as casting, steelmaking, extrusion, auto parts, injection, forging, rolling and forming of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
The simulation software, 3D sand printing and complementary technologies provided by Beckert allow you to validate casting processes still in the design phase, drastically reduce trial and error in the development of parts, eliminate limitations of conventional molds and tooling, reduce production and delivery times and optimize energy and raw material consumption, reducing environmental impact.
PROCAST 2025 MAKES ADVANCED SIMULATION WITHOUT WASTE
PROCAST is a world-leading casting simulation software, capable of reproducing virtually all processes and alloys, whether in sand, die, high or low pressure. It allows you to predict defects, microstructure, mechanical properties, and distortions even before the part is physically produced.
The 2025 version brings significant advances with more agile tools to generate complex geometries and parts with thin parts, a more powerful processing algorithm that ensures fast simulations and almost immediate responses, and the best cost-benefit ratio on the market, with high-level results.
The use of PROCAST reduces emissions and waste generation, as it allows high quality levels to be achieved without multiple reworks or refusions. In addition, for companies that are starting out in simulation, Beckert offers QUIKCAST, a simpler, more intuitive and competitive solution, ideal for beginners, now available subsidized by Fundep’s Conectamais Tooling program.
3D SAND PRINTING FOR MOLDS AND CORES
The voxeljet technology, presented by Beckert, comes from the manufacturer of the world’s largest and most powerful 3D sand casting printers. These systems allow you to produce molds and cores directly from the digital file, eliminating the need for tooling, complex parting lines, or taper angles.
Prominent models include the VX4000 and VX9000, which are capable of handling the production of large components and large batches of smaller parts. The advantages for the foundry are significant in the reduction of up to 75% in manufacturing time, production in a few hours, with savings of several weeks compared to conventional methods, and the possibility of manufacturing complex geometries and lighter parts, without compromising strength or fidelity to the original design.
GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY FOR BRAZILIAN INDUSTRY
As a partner of Brignone & Associados, Beckert brings to Brazil renowned suppliers from the Argentine and world markets, such as Megatherm, with state-of-the-art equipment in induction furnaces, and GNR, manufacturer of the S3 MiniLab 300, one of the smallest and lightest compact optical emission spectrometers on the market, ideal for fast and accurate analyses.
This network of partnerships allows Beckert to offer integrated solutions for the entire foundry and metallurgy production chain, covering everything from modeling and simulation to production and quality control.
