  • \n
    Significant increase in tooling lifetime<\/h5>\n

    We guarantee at least double the service life compared to traditional configurations.<\/li>\n

  • \n
    Lower maintenance costs<\/h5>\n

    The modular design allows for quick replacement of damaged inserts, minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance costs.<\/li>\n

  • \n
    Optimized cooling system<\/h5>\n

    Enhanced thermal management of the mold reduces the need for coolant lubricants.<\/li>\n

  • \n
    Consistent casting quality throughout the mold\u2019s lifespan.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Potential reduction in cycle time<\/h5>\n

    The production cycle can be significantly shortened thanks to optimized solidification times and lubrication phases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-8-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”786″ image_size=”large” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”20px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”30″ bottom_padding_phone=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_video_player_self_hosted video_mp4=”https:\/\/www.costampgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/puzzle-die-video.mp4″ player_functionality=”lightbox” play_button_style=”default” play_button_color=”#ffffff” play_button_icon_color=”#005ebc” border_radius=”20px” box_shadow=”none” advanced_gradient_display_type=”linear”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30″ constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”30″ top_padding_phone=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Horizon 2020<\/strong> Programme” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23005ebc” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Costamp, thanks to active collaborations with FEM\/CFD simulation providers<\/strong>, has studied and implemented a new design and construction technique for moulds in order to extend their service life like never before.
