Are you interested in learning more about product design for die castings?
Die casting is a high production rate reproducible method of creating complex metal components. However, the die casting is only as good as the initial design. To make the best die castings one has to create a design that matches the process. Dr. Steve Midson, President of The Midson Group, will be presenting a three part webinar which focuses on design concepts to aid designers in crafting their design to take advantage of the die casting process. In addition, common die castings defects and design pitfalls will be covered.
