The most efficient way is to use computer simulation which allows for verification of the whole design and production process. Over the years, the development of computer technologies has allowed for the development of an Integrated Computational Material Engineering (ICME). This method in logical sequence makes it possible to integrate the project activities, to develop new manufacturing methods, to select suitable materials and to verify the final process. Such multi-threaded operations significantly shorten the time required for the production of the prototype which speeds up the implementation of the planned production of the designed casting. The additional advantage of such work is the possibility of ongoing monitoring of the changes and their impact on the final product.
