Lost Foam Casting Training: Significance and Benefits
Lost Foam Casting training offers a seamless transition to an LFC foundry, with high precision and cost-effectiveness. This makes on-site training and handholding an important factor for success in the lost foam process.
Since the early 2000s, Indian foundries explored LFC technology by visiting plants in Japan and China. Yet they struggled to adopt the process widely due to a lack of operational understanding.
Additionally, an absence of a trained workforce without proper technical know-how leads to struggles in transition to LFC.
GDM Technics leverages its extensive hands-on experience with the v-LFC moulding process and technical know-how to fill this gap proactively.
This transforms foundry operations across India by empowering teams with technical expertise.
GDM Technics proposes a Three-stage On-site Training Model:
- Hands-On Process Orientation – Training fresh engineers and technicians in the Whiteside, Yellow-Side, and Backside areas.
- In-Depth Technical Training – Sharing technical know-how. Process logic, reasoning, and outcomes to ensure a comprehensive understanding and develop instincts.
- Follow-Up and Performance Evaluation – Conducting multiple follow-ups. Reinforce knowledge, followed by successful castings for assurance
Ultimately, this training helps foundries to achieve higher profits through successful high-precision castings.
Challenge faced by foundries in adopting Lost Foam Casting
Shortage of Trained Manpower: Foundries face a critical shortage of skilled manpower in LFC.
Even seasoned engineers hesitate to implement LFC due to unfamiliarity and reluctance towards the modern process.
Without proper on-the-job training, real hand-holding, and regular reviews, they cannot gain the confidence required to operate efficiently. Additionally, the workforce requires an instinct for successful lost foam casting, which can only be gained through technical know-how of LFC.
