The development of a large gigacast (gigapress) casting machine, which has revolutionized NEV vehicle manufacturing, has been proposed by Tesla and is making headlines worldwide.

This manufacturing technology is very effective in reducing the number of parts, production processes, and energy consumption compared to conventional automobile manufacturing. The following is an overview of the GIGACAST trend in Japan and overseas.
With the increasing electrification of automobiles, the application of die casting products is also changing. Improvements in material, die, and casting technologies have made it possible to apply the technology to body chassis, and its adoption is increasing. The following are some of the technological trends and issues in large-scale integrated die casting (Gigacast) and efforts to introduce Gigacast machines.
