Casting Metal: the Basics

Casting The Future seems to be a British, casting education outreach program from a bunch of trade groups. The group includes Cast Metals Federation, Institute of Cast Metals Engineers, and ten companies contributing to the efforts.

Their main outreach seems to be the Casting The Future foundry kit which is demonstrated in the video above.

At Princeton we do some simple surface casting, but taking things to this next level would be brilliant. I'm going to look into seeing if we can order one of these kits and get it shipped across the pond to us.

They have also put together the following video explaining why casting is important to the UK manufacturing economy.
