MatruOS for an investment casting unit
Set up the way an investment casting unit runs: price per piece (or per kg for heavy parts) by alloy, weight and complexity; die development charge; machining and heat treatment extra. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What an investment casting unit deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Shell cracks on humid weeks spoil whole batches. Quotes per piece ignore real yield and rejection.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 9 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 10 licences for an investment casting unit, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
