Excellent Casting Training Class in USA?

Excellent Casting Training Class in USA?

Excellent Casting Training Class in USA?

(OP)
Has any come across, attended or heard about a good multiday deisn for casting training class within the USA? I know this a broad question, and I could get a million different answers. What I would like to know is which class is the defintitve design for casting class that everyone should take! I'm currently working with a centrifugal application. So I want to design a centrifuge frame and housing out of a casting. I would also like to have some FEA analysis thrown into there for good measure. Here's how I see this structured:

1) Casting solutions and choices (benefits and negatives of each).
2) Design considerations and issues.
3) Design for cost and strength (in my case impact, and vibration considerations).
4) FEA considerations for analyzing casting components.

If you could Take a semester at a university I'd suggest MTU and Dr. Rundman's Metal Casting course.

YOyu might want to try the AFS website.
