Success Stories
The Industrial Technologies Program has sponsored many collaborative R&D projects for the metal casting industry. A number of these projects have produced energy-efficient metal casting technologies that are now commercially available, while other projects are working on emerging technologies that are likely to reach the commercial level within the next two years.
