Gigacasting

How Transforming the Future of EV Manufacturing

What is Gigacasting?

Gigacasting involves using high-pressure aluminum die-casting machines, known as Giga Presses, to manufacture automobile components.

Benefits of Gigacasting against the conventional methods?

1. Simpler Production 2. Cost Reduction 3. Increased Efficiency 4. Environmental Sustainability

Tesla’s Giga Press

Tesla's Giga Press is a revolutionary die-casting machine that produces precise single-piece vehicle components with unprecedented efficiency.

Tesla’s Gigacasting

Gigacasting, the process that relies on Giga Presses, is particularly significant in the context of electric vehicles and sustainability. By eliminating the need for multiple smaller components.

Toyota Gigacasting plans

Initial module swapping took a full day but has since been reduced to 20 minutes by simplified part detachment. Toyota aims for a 20 % higher productivity rate than competitors.
