SMART (Sustainable Metalcasting using Advanced Research and Technology) Foundry 2020 is a collaborative initiative by a national network of researchers and entrepreneurs. The system will enable rapid manufacture of small size intricate metal parts with better quality (than conventional sand casting) and lower cost (compared to machining or 3D metal printing). Applications include rapid prototypes for testing, replacement parts for valuable equipment, and high-value components for art, medical and defence.
