Technical Seminars

Our Technical Seminar is often called "Brown Bag University" because we typically bring in pizza or sandwiches and conduct the seminar over a lunch period. This informal setting results in a more interactive meeting between our engineers and the seminar attendees. Meeting size can range from just a few people to very large audiences.

To better serve our customers and help them more completely understand investment casting and the “Signicast Advantage,” Signicast offers to bring a unique educational seminar directly to you – at your facility and on your schedule. As the global leader in commercial investment casting, our staff is uniquely qualified to help others learn more about this important manufacturing process, and how it can greatly improve the speed and efficiency of your manufacturing operation. The seminar covers each step of the process, including the following:

Different tooling options
Prototype capabilities
Process techniques, such as:

- Wax patterns
- Shell build
- Dewax and burn out
- Pour techniques
- Alloys
- Shell & part removal
- Secondary operations required
Normal process time requirements

Depending on the audience, it can also cover the technical aspects of designing a manufacturable investment casting, highlighting cost drivers and avoiding pitfalls.
