REUTERS/Giulio Piovaccari Acquire Licensing RightsTRAVAGLIATO, Italy, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Idra, an Italian aluminium casting machine maker and Tesla supplier (TSLA.O), has added Ford (F.N), Hyundai (005380.KS) and a European company to its customer base as more carmakers explore this manufacturing technique. The source said IDRA was also about to sign a supply contract for two 9,000 presses with a premium automaker in Europe, its first with a European group. Six gigapresses are now emerging as the standard for an annual production of 500,000 vehicles, the source added. IDRA has so far signed orders for 25 presses, with 21 already produced and shipped, including to leading 'Tier 1' parts makers.

☆ Gigapresses - the giant die casts reshaping car manufacturing
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Giulio Piovaccari | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
GIGAPRESS 9,000Metal and plastic die casting has been largely used in manufacturing, but its application to large aluminium underbodies in carmaking is relatively new. The global aluminium die casting market was worth almost $73 billion last year and is projected to top $126 billion by 2032, according to an AlixPartners analysis based on Apollo Reports data. Ralf Bechmann of manufacturing consultant EFESO said the benefits of die casting would push it "to be applied to an increasing number of new models of BEV vehicles, also by other manufacturers". Yet not all automakers are convinced, and EFESO's Bechmann cautioned that large module die casting required product design to be "super solid". After initially considering die casting for its upcoming Trinity model, Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) has backtracked, while BMW (BMWG.DE) has never expressed an interest.
