PART 1: Metal-Ready Design & Geometry Control
Modern forging and casting failures almost always begin long before molten metal ever enters a mold or a die. They start inside 2D drawings and 3D CAD models where geometry, wall thickness, fillets, draft angles, and tolerances quietly define how metal will flow, cool, and solidify. This part focuses on the critical design stage where manufacturability, tool life, and defect risk are either locked in or destroyed. Engineers learn how to create metal-ready designs that support uniform filling, stable solidification, clean die release, and reliable tooling performance. Instead of relying on trial and error in the foundry or forging shop, design decisions are guided by how hot metal actually behaves inside complex shapes. This directly impacts porosity, shrinkage, cracking, machining allowance, and yield. By aligning CAD modeling, technical drawings, and tooling logic, parts move from concept to production with fewer surprises and lower cost. This approach is especially valuable for automotive, aerospace, defense, and heavy-engineering suppliers where quality, consistency, and process stability are non-negotiable. When design controls metal behavior, defects stop being unpredictable events and become manageable engineering variables that can be eliminated before production ever starts.
Most forging and casting problems are silently built into drawings and CAD models long before metal ever touches a mold, this training will help you to master;
1. CAD That Survives Metal: Designs that maintain integrity during forging and casting processes.
2. Stop Designing Scrap: Eliminate geometry that creates hidden defect and rework zones.
3. Tooling Starts in CAD: Reduce die cost through intelligent part geometry decisions.
4. Drawings Foundries Respect: Create 2D designs that production and tooling teams trust.
5. Design Locks Your Cost: Control material usage and yield before metal ever flows.
This is highly recommended and designed for professionals working with forged and cast metal parts, in particular:
- CAD and product design engineers
- Forging and casting engineers
- Tooling and die designers
- Foundry and forging shop managers
- Quality and metallurgical engineers
- Automotive, aerospace, and industrial OEM suppliers
After part 1 participants can: Create 2D drawings and 3D CAD models that are truly forging- and casting-ready, with fewer defects, lower tooling cost, and higher manufacturing yield.
