State-of-the art technology provides support to Livar’s development and guarantees the top quality of our products.

Livar’s knowledge and experience is based on a strong tradition and specific foundry knowledge, which is reflected in the high level of operational flexibility and our comprehensive range of products and services. Livar is linked with its customers and suppliers, with which it undertakes joint development projects – prototyping and testing, and the development of special materials. Livar also cooperates with and enhances it knowledge and experience through collaboration with the University of Ljubljana:

Livar’s employees are involved in all forms of education, which are strengthening their innovativeness, creativity and responsibility. The possibility of 3D modelling and numerical simulations of casting and solidification are an important competitive advantage of the company. In this area, we work with our customers’ technology development departments and with institutions of knowledge, particularly faculties and institutes. Using MAGMASOFT® software, we provide support to customers in developing new products and tools, and advise them on design solutions for their products.


Tool-Making Shop


orodjarna_livarna_ivancna_gorica_mala
The model tool-making shop and design department are engaged in the development, production and maintenance of foundry tools (models and core boxes). Their activities also include the development of the ducting range, as well as cooperation with clients in the development and design of new products. This includes the following processes:

  • technology
  • design
  • programming
  • simulation of casting and solidification of cast irons
  • stress-strain simulations
  • production of CNC tools as well as manual production and assembly of tools.

The production of castings takes place in modern CNC processing centres and CNC turning machines: CNC vertical processing centres
