Traditionally, engineers would combine engineering principles with trial and error when developing castings however as Emmanuel Agba – a senior lecturer in mechanical engineering – explains, software programs such as MAGMASOFT® are able to simulate different manufacturing processes in a virtual environment beforehand, which can in most cases dramatically reduce the costs and labor associated with trial and error. Students in the ME 324 Manufacturing Engineering Lab work closely with a simulation software program known as MAGMASOFT® which helps to model various casting processes for a wide variety of different metals. Similar to a set of calipers, micrometers and tape measure, computers have become tools that are part of the daily routine for many mechanical engineers.
