We are pleased to announce that the West Midlands, Birmingham, and Coventry Branch of the ICME will be holding their next technical lecture on Monday 5th October 2026 at 7pm – 8.30pm at Churchills Bar, 8 Walsall St, Wednesbury WS10 9BZ.
You are invited to join the Branch for a presentation titled: “A LIFE IN FOUNDRIES: Castings Defects, Functionality and the Cost of Perfection”. presented by Claire Kevan , Casting Specialist, JLR. Based on +30 years spent diagnosing, reducing, preventing, and defending casting scrap, this presentation examines the relationship between casting defects, functionality, and the industry’s pursuit of perfection. It challenges long-held assumptions about quality, highlights the hidden cost of unnecessary scrap and explores how digitalisation, data, and AI can help foundries unlock significant improvements in profitability and sustainability.
We encourage everyone to join us for an enjoyable evening with a free buffet provided.
