The course will be introduced by Dr Stephen Court of Namtec with keynote presentations by David Lee of Bridon, Andy Malone - Control Techniques, Dr Steve Thornton, Kevin Linsley and Andy Bell - all of Corus Research Design and Technology, Rhod Turner - Tecvac and Malcolm Bailey - National Industrial Symbiosis Programme.
The presentations will cover business process modelling, environmental management and control, product management via metallurgical control, opportunities in tool coatings and the benefits of drive systems.
The Casting Simulation Awareness Seminar gives a preview of the Cast It training programme, designed to improve the engineering capacity and profitability of foundries through casting process simulation.
This programme, which runs for three months, is funded by Yorkshire Forward and Objective 1 to help casting businesses to take advantage of the latest simulation technology.
Namtec is hosting the event in partnership with ESI to demonstrate the cost and time savings and increased profits and capacity from these techniques.
The seminar will demonstrate how the process reduces material usage, as well as mould and engineering development time, increases die life, provides value-added support for customers and improves component yield and product quality.
Chief Executive of Namtec Alan Partridge explains: "Both events are very specific to the needs of key sectors of the metals and manufacturing industry".
"The aim is to demonstrate how these companies can benefit from the latest research and technology to drive forward innovation and competitiveness within the industry".
