Aluminium Gießen is the title of my intermediate exam. It deals with the question on how to cast aluminium with no access to industrial casting facilities. I investigated whether casting aluminium is a suitable method within the design process in order to realize and develop products and prototypes. My goal was to find a solution to quickly produce prototypes from recycled aluminium. Therefore I build a reasonably priced furnace and experimented with different casting techniques such as sand-, lost foam- and investment casting. My intension was to awaken interest for aluminium casting and make it accessible to fellow students. For a closer look into this work feel free to contact me.
