Metalcasting Industry Roadmap Program Milestones


Task 1: Defining the Landscape The AMC RTAC reviewed past metalcasting and related roadmaps and conducted surveys to determine baseline metalcasting industry needs. $ GHVLJQDWHG ³VHOHFW´ team of experts was developed to review the surveys, determine areas of metalcasting technology gaps, and outline general areas of R&D needs. The efforts were coordinated by the AMC RTAC and reviewed by the AMC REC.


Task 2: Preparing the Surface for the Road


The AMC REC helped set the topics, agenda, discussion leaders, and framework for the Roadmapping Development Workshop. A list of invitees was established, a date and location was set, and invitations were sent out.

The goal of the workshop was to identify future metalcasting research / technology / workforce needs. Participants presented and discussed the important metalcasting issues and the required R&D / technologies / resources needed in small breakout groups consisting of six to eight people per group. Each breakout group session lasted 45 minutes and had a facilitator and a record keeper. The four breakout group areas were: process, materials, design, and workforce. Participants are listed in Table 3 and their biographies, key issues, and results from this workshop are contained in the Appendix.
