Best Designs of 2008
The most innovative, effective, and impactful cast-metal designs of the past year were recognized during CastExpo ’08.

Making a Big Impression
First impressions count, as CastExpo ’08 exhibitors know. Many of them used big displays of largescale equipment to create that impact, while others emphasized product debuts.

Making Money While Cutting Emissions
Under pressure to clean up their operations, three foundries discovered sandbinder products and technologies that will make them better neighbors, and help them to achieve performance and production-cost benefits, too.

Quick, Safe Cleaning of Molds and Coreboxes, with “Micro Explosions”
Dry ice changes from solid to gas upon impact, so very little force is transferred to the surface of the mold (or other object being cleaned), and there is no cleaning media to be disposed once the process is done.

3D Monitoring Assures Safe Operation for Automated Foundry Equipment
The SafetyEye package — a 3D camera/sensor and a PC-configurable controller — monitors operations in one or more three-dimensional zones around a manufacturing system.

Lost Foam Foundries find Energy-Saving Opportunities
R&D sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Energy and Cast Metals Coalition — and now detailed in a study, Implementation of Metal Casting Best Practices — demonstrated how two lost foam foundries investigated ways to decrease energy consumption, and how they improved productivity.

Improving Process Efficiencies in Coremaking
It gives foundries a capability that no other metalworking process offers: the ability to form external and internal contours, shapes, cavities, and passageways in one operation.

Advances in Core Making Technology
Rapid advances are occurring in core design and production because of the need for reducing foundry and machining scrap and the need for binders that are environmentally friendly.
