Reinventing Foundry in a Box for the 21st Century

by Jay Sim

American Foundry Society (AFS) estimates 90% of all manufactured products contain cast metal parts. To engage and recruit K-12 students into the industry, AFS has an outreach and education program called "Foundry in a Box" where students create castings. But there are major safety and operational hazards, namely hot molten metal and tooling requirement. This project aims to redesign the program so students can safely experience the metal casting process.
