Casting technologist EFZ - permanent moulds
Casting technologist is a very modern and technically versatile profession. You work with customers, engineers, designers and polymechanics to develop die-cast components and then the corresponding casting technologies for the die-casting and punching moulds. Once the die-casting mould has been built, you create the casting concept, programme the automated casting cells and carry out the sampling and set-up of the series process. You control the entire process sequence and also take responsibility for the quality of the components. You will also use your expertise to further develop the casting technologies, carry out development tests and optimise the processes of the machines and systems. In die casting, we mainly process aluminium and magnesium alloys, which is why you will also learn about the metallurgical properties of these materials. As a casting technologist, you will also be familiar with the processes of work preparation, preparation of production orders and will be responsible for production data acquisition through to post-calculation of orders. Compliance with occupational health and safety as well as the implementation of standards and customer requirements are also part of your area of responsibility.
