Inside ICI Casting Contest to Recognize Top Casters The industry’s top investment cast-
ers will be recognized when the Invest- ment Casting Institute awards casting contest winners at its 60th Anniversary Conference & Expo Oct. 6-9. The confer- ence is scheduled at theWyndham Grand Downtown, Pittsburgh, PA. Institute Staff Associate Grayce Al-
banese indicated three winners are ex- pected to be named. from this year’s en- tries.
“We are excited about the participa-
tion this year,” she said. “We have entries from several casters who are new to the contest. We also have a variety of mar- kets represented and excellent examples
at 60th Anniversary Conference & Expo illustrating the benefi ts of the investment casting process.” Ideal
entries are components and
applications which showcase the invest- ment casting process or solve customer problems. The purpose of the contest is to promote the investment casting pro- cess and recognize innovation and lead- ership in the industry. Case studies generated from the con- test are published in INCAST, distribut- ed to various metals and design publica- tions, and promoted at shows and events where the Institute has contact with end users and buyers of castings. “We are promoting the winners and individual members that submit entries”
she said, “but at the same time, we are promoting the process. And this mate- rial is sent to end-use customers and the publications that reach them.” Taking top honors in 2012 were
