Tesla showed the way: the production of cars of the future will have to use giga presses. Many have already realized this and followed Elon Musk's example to simplify and accelerate body production using unprecedented size and power presses in the industry.
Among them is Hyundai, which has announced that it intends to adopt the method of "hyperfusion" inspired by the Giga Press of Tesla in its own factories. Máquina de moldagem de borracha
This is what the Korean newspaper Hankyung states, which in an exclusive report explains how the seedy company in Seoul is working on defining these new processes to significantly reduce costs and increase volumes.
Hyundai, specifically, will inject a cast aluminum alloy in casting molds in which this league will cool, creating a substantial part of a car chassis. Hyundai recorded the 'HyperCasting' brand at the US patent office on August 21.
But why is this method so revolutionary? There are several reasons. First, work in large molds significantly reduces the amount of pieces to be produced. And that offers, first and foremost, a time advantage.
Then you save on all the welding and assembly of the various pieces, as they are all originally united in a single component. And this offers advantages in terms of the material used and the number of operations required to build an entire body. Again: time savings and material.
Returning to Hyundai, the company is currently working on the construction of its own casting and molding factory, which should be operational by 2026.
Other manufacturers, such as Volvo, for example, or some Chinese manufacturers, preferred to resort to companies specializing to buy ready -made machines. Tesla, in this sense, was able to take advantage of the priests mentioned earlier, produced by the Italian company Idra, based in Brescia.
