AFS/CMI NEWS AFS Has Updated Its Look “ I’m very satisfi ed with

The new AFS website offers a more user-friendly experience with re- sources readily availble to its users.


T e American Foundry Society (AFS) has launched a


redesigned website including easier navigation with a cleaner, more progressive appearance. Improvements to the site include the user’s ability to


move from one AFS brand to the other (i.e. magazine, education, etc.) rather than having to switch from site to site. Users can also tailor the site to their needs, whether they are a metalcaster, OEM buyer/designer, or supplier to the metalcasting industry. In addition, enhanced search capabilities allow users to fi nd and pull the most relevant content and information available. AFS members can login to view and download members-

tinuously expanding collection of resources and articles that aid in the production, designing and purchasing of castings. The archive includes industry statistics, metal- lurgical and process advancements, best practices and a directory of metalcasters. AFS has always worked to keep informational resources
