Simple Solutions That Work! Issue 10

Welcome to our “How To” issue. In an era where capacity is at the maximum and delivery times are already suffering, keeping production up-and-running turns into a taller task. This issue is filled with the tricks of the trade that matter – the ones that keep your shop running instead of running behind. Whether you are upgrading your equipment, or training, there are new methods that will show you how to do this faster and better. Several authors spent time discussing how to setup a preventative maintenance—a critical area for all foundries as nothing costs more than downtime. As technology changes, so do the important basics of “How to properly do that.” To that end, you will see a primer on binders for 3D printing along with how to create prototypes with this technology. Additionally you will enjoy the SMART technologies that can do things so that you don’t have to. Profitability only happens when you ship on-time, with a casting that exceeds customers’ quality and performance expectations. Paying attention to the latest in “how to do that” will pay off dividends at your customers’ delivery dock.
