Vladislav Andronov, Zdeněk Pitrmuc, Jan Zajíc, Pavel Šotka, Libor Beránek & Martin Bock  Abstract This study addresses a critical issue in mass-producing gearbox housing MQ200GA at Škoda Auto a.s. The combination of SW ProCAST simulations and metal 3D printing (laser powder bed fusion—L-PBF) overcomes challenges posed by full mold printing. Instead, the authors adapt the conformal cooling design, introducing specific channel
