TRANSCRIPT
Casting Design This one day technical course covers basic principles, the building blocks to good casting design and how to improve product quality and recognise casting defects.
Course aimsThe course provides design
engineers, production,
specification and procurement
professionals with an in-
depth understanding of the
opportunities and constraints of
a variety of casting processes.
This will enable businesses
to manufacture or source cast
products in the most effective
manner.
Who should attend The course is particularly
suited to practising designers,
simulation process or methods
engineers looking to gain or
improve depth of knowledge in
producing castable designs.
