ICME recently held their ‘Design for Casting’ technical course which was focussed on providing good practice information for those wanting to understand more about Casting as a Route to Manufacture.
The two-day course was developed to offer delegates an overview of different casting processes, the principles of casting design, some ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ of design for casting, an introduction to casting metallurgy and solidification as well as casting repair – including information about common defects and methods of rectification.
The feedback from the training was very positive from all attendees, with delegates responding when asked if they would recommend this course to others, with an overwhelming ‘yes’.
ICME’s ‘Design for Casting’ training course was delivered by John Myers MICME. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge from time served in the industry, a fact which was clearly recognised, and appreciated by all the delegates attending the course.
What our delegates had to say:
“I’ve done a few ICME courses now, and that was one of the best.”
“I found the course really interesting & informative.”
“I have gained a further knowledge of key points to note for designing moulds for castings.”
“I increased my knowledge across a variety of processes.”
Amy Worrallo MICME, Training & Quality Manager for ICME, reflects on the importance of developing the talent within the industry, saying “Casting represents a cost effective way to make near-net-shape engineering components and metal cast components are infinitely recyclable, which can be an attractive attribute for companies looking at increasing the sustainability of their supply chain. But designing for the casting process requires some understanding of the process to ensure the design can be optimised and the benefits of casting realised. So this course also supports the wider manufacturing supply chain and castings users value the insights from our team. It is imperative for the industry, particularly in these current times, that we are able to support and nurture the future of our industry through courses such as this one, that are also applicable to castings users.”
