A highly modern industry with ancient roots, metalcasting is the backbone of the manufacturing economy. It is a $44.3 billion industry that provides nearly 490,000 U.S. jobs. The industry is central to a growing economy, modern infrastructure, and national defense. Moreover, metalcasting provides excellent careers for those with the right skills. Highly engineered castings are part of 90 percent of durable goods. They are found in cars, trucks, aerospace, trains, mining and construction equipment, oil wells, appliances, pipes, hydrants, wind turbines, nuclear plants, medical devices, defense products, toys, and more.
The primary ways to fuel growth of metalcasting markets are new product development, converting from fabrications, and reshoring. The American Foundry Society works aggressively to help foundries achieve success in each of these endeavors. Conversions allow many manufacturers to do more than just save money. They are also achieving improved performance, reductions in weight, and shorter lead-times. Most metalcasting facilities are well-versed in redesigning parts for casting. They can share examples, and help you analyze your potential savings and benefits from conversion.
A good association for learning the business and networking.
Great resource for foundries and anyone that uses or buys castings!
Wonderfull. The manufacturing is very importantin amazing bussines, 1.-Financial 2.-Human relations, 3.-Energy, 4.-Health and seguryte 5.-Ambiental impact 6.-Transport( materials hand).
