Researcher, CTO Team

About Magnus Metal

Magnus Metal is modernizing metal casting through its digitally driven, highly automated manufacturing platform — Digital Casting™.

We are transforming conventional foundry processes into a controlled, data-centric, scalable industrial system — connecting digital design directly to production (CAD-to-part). Our technology enables unique metallurgy, high repeatability, AI-driven process control, and a pathway toward distributed production and digital inventory.

We operate at the intersection of materials science, automation, and industrial-scale system engineering — serving heavy industries including automotive tooling, construction equipment, mobility, and defense
