The Bright World of Metals - 21 to 25 June 2027

Giga or Megacasting in the Spotlight

Dear Sir or Madam,

Tesla is a pioneer in gigacasting, but Toyota, Volvo and BMW are also following suit and gaining initial experience. A huge trend is developing here, as gigacasting or megacasting involves large body parts being produced in a single casting, which can have major advantages, such as the substitution of many individual parts and processes. However, there are also disadvantages, such as high upfront investments in new systems and infrastructure. Read what the traditional Bavarian company BMW has learned in this innovative field:

• BMW: Giga or Mega
• Influence of gigacastings
• GIFA Mexico
• NEWCAST news overview

Everything Giga or Mega?

There is no “right” or “wrong”!

BMW
Like all leading car manufacturers worldwide, the Bavarian premium manufacturer BMW in Landshut has been exploring the advantages and disadvantages of so-called giga or mega castings for some time. Tesla attracted a lot of attention with the introduction of large diecast parts for its vehicle structure, such as the rear underbody structure of the Model Y.

Gigacastings

How they influence our key industries

This development influences the entire value-added chain.
