Global GIGA-Casting Congress 2027
Two days in Kassel with the people who design, cast, tool, and buy structural gigacastings — OEMs, suppliers, machine builders, and researchers. Hosted by the University of Kassel’s Department of Foundry Technology (GTK).
What the congress is
GIGA-Casting is changing how structural body parts are made for electric and lightweight vehicles. This congress puts the technical and commercial conversation in one place: process advances, applications, tooling, and market reality.
Talks, an exhibition next to the sessions, and the Foundry Evening (included with registration). The preliminary programme is online; the full agenda is still being assembled.
