Paper No. 15: The Digital Foundry: Building on the Processes of Today to Meet the Demand of Tomorrow
Gerald Richard, MAGMA Foundry Technologies Investment casting foundries have been making high quality product for decades with the use of innovative techniques and engineering know-how. Many foundries have amassed tremendous expertise in designing efficient processes to produce superior castings, creating value for industries all over the world. However, there are many challenges the investment casting foundries of the future will face. Product complexity is growing, quality requirements are becoming more stringent, and customers are demanding lower cost product. Now and into the future, foundries that will compete in this environment and remain profitable may need to invest in technology to aid in the continual improvement and optimization of their process and products. Businesses are leveraging the digital landscape to support this effort, increasing efficiencies using data driven decision making. In this paper, technology used in the digitalization and optimization of the investment foundry process will be reviewed and how data is used to drive decision making to reduce cost will be explored.

1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Customer Spotlight: Honeywell Aerospace Gregory Colvin, Honeywell Aerospace Honeywell Aerospace is a manufacturer of aircraft engines and avionics, as well as a producer of auxiliary power units (APUs) and other aviation products. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, it is a division of the Honeywell International conglomerate. It generates approximately $10 billion in annual revenue from a 50/50 mix of commercial and defense contracts. Mr. Greg Colvin will provide a company overview,
discuss investment casting configurations procured by the company and address Honeywell’s expectations from its supply base.
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Paper No. 16: Light-weighting using Advance Simulation and Tooling (PDA) Free Investment Casting AM Process Jiten Shah, Product Development & Analysis (PDA) Casting process simulation and ICME tools are very matured and allow accurate predictions of the residual stress & distortion; hot tear & shrinkage type defects and micro-structure & properties in most of the alloys. Tooling free castings using AM (printed wax, PMMA, PLA and SLA) offers tremendous design freedom with feature placement, orientation, and drafting. Part and feature consolidation after carefully understanding current casting higher order sub-assembly; it’s form- fit and functionality can lead to a more complex one piece casting configuration, improving the final product performance at reducing cost and lead times. Author will present case studies from various research projects working with member investment foundries and manufacturing innovations institutes - America Makes and LIFT / ALMMII, demonstrating light-weighting with the application of advance simulation and AM processes.
