To ensure Germany remains competitive as a location for the foundry industry, German Foundry Association BDGuss has recently outlined some measures, including reducing energy costs, conserving resources, reforming environmental legislation, and achieving climate neutrality. Therefore, the interdisciplinary congress for high-performance cast components "InCeight Casting C8" will take place from March 5 to 6, 2025 combining experts and decision-makers from the foundry industry to exchange ideas on design and product development, structural durability, non-destructive component testing, casting technology and simulation - with the aim of developing high-performance and sustainable components.
The international congress “InCeight Casting C8” from March 5 to 6, 2025 in Stockstadt (Rhine), Germany, will focus on presentations, discussions and workshops covering topics such as design and product development, structural durability, non-destructive testing, foundry technology and simulation.
In its third edition, the thematic focus of InCeight Casting Congress 2025 is material and process development. Optimizing and developing new materials, casting methods, and simulation processes has a direct influence on the quality, efficiency and sustainability of cast products. Advances in research and development must be consistently implemented in new products and innovations, aiming for increasing production and application efficiency as well as product sustainability. In addition, new materials and processes enable innovative applications and the development of new markets.
Research and development for new materials and more efficient processes
Today, more than ever, investing in research, development and knowledge expansion is essential. The international congress "InCeight Casting C8" is intended to be a platform for exchange and advancement, encouraging collaboration and innovation across disciplines. Participants from academia and different industrial sectors such as vehicle construction, casting production and processing, mechanical and plant engineering, energy generation and circular economy sectors will come together to discuss the diverse requirements for high-performance, efficient and sustainable cast products.
Organized by the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF, the international congress "InCeight Casting C⁸" will take place for the third time from 5 to 6 March 2025. Held biennially, the congress provides a forum for sharing experiences and knowledge across disciplines. “All areas involved in the 'cast component' product life cycle are invited to share their ideas, from design to the selection of a suitable R strategy, in order to tap into shared learning effects and innovation potential” says congress manager Dr. Christoph Bleicher.
More information on the international congress »InCeight Casting C8«
The international congress "InCeight Casting C8" contributes to active networking and offers a targeted stage for exchange among all disciplines involved in the product development process. The Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Darmstadt organized this congress for the first time in 2021. The event is supported by the Federal Association of the German Foundry Industry BDG, the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing DGZfP, the Det Norske Veritas Group DNV and the German Engineering Federation VDMA Metallurgy.
The central goal of the congress is to establish networks that enable participants to gain insights and understanding beyond their own disciplines. This helps address the concerns, challenges, and needs of others involved in the design, assessment, simulation, casting, or quality assurance of components. Feedback from previous congresses confirms the concept: »The participants in the interdisciplinary forum for casting come in roughly equal numbers from foundries, casting users and research - perfect for an overarching exchange«, and »We are convinced by the content concept and see the 'InCeight Casting' congress as a relevant event for our industry«.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
