AFS Sponsors Lost Foam Conference

AFS Sponsors Lost Foam Conference

The American Foundry Society (AFS) Lost Foam Conference will be held October
23-24 at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth, MI.

The conference's goal is to inform design engineers and buyers of engineered
metalcastings about the capability of the lost foam process to reduce part
count, improve dimensional tolerance, eliminate secondary machining
operations, and produce geometric shapes that are not possible using other
casting processes.

Gene Hagedorn, materials vice president at Baldor Electric, will provide a
keynote address. The two-day conference will also feature speakers from GM
Powertrain, Mercury Marine, and the CASTI Group, S.p.a.

All attendees of the AFS Lost Foam Conference will be eligible to
participate (subject to space limitations) in plant tours of GM's Saginaw
Metal Casting Operations (SMCO).

For more information, contact AFS by phone (800-537-4237 or 847-824-0181),
or by Fax (847-824-7848).
