The Introduction to Casting CPD course provides a comprehensive overview of metal casting as one of the oldest and most versatile manufacturing processes. The course introduces participants to the fundamental principles of casting, including pattern design, mould making, melting, pouring, and solidification. Learners will gain an understanding of how casting processes transform molten metal into functional engineering components used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and construction.
Through interactive discussions, visual demonstrations, and case studies, participants will explore different casting methods—such as sand casting, die casting, and investment casting—and understand their respective advantages, limitations, and applications. The course also highlights modern trends in casting technology, including automation, simulation, and additive manufacturing for tooling and prototyping.
By the end of this CPD course, participants will have a solid grounding in the casting process chain, enabling them to communicate effectively with foundry specialists, identify suitable casting methods for specific applications, and appreciate the influence of materials and design on casting quality and performance.
Target Audience:
Engineers, technicians, apprentices, manufacturing professionals, and individuals seeking foundational knowledge of metal casting processes and applications.
