The AFS Piedmont Chapter’s Mission is to strengthen our metalcasting industry within our region. We will accomplish this through the utilization of industry expert training and technology transfers to assist our members learn best-practice methods to effectively manage their production operations, improve quality, expand leading edge technologies, and profitably market their products and services.

Announcements:

The Piedmont Chapter is excited to announce the November Meeting - PM 2.5 Environmental & Safety which will be held November 13th and 14th in Concord, NC.

This meeting will be beneficial to understand the upcoming changes and requirements related to the new PM 2.5 regulations affecting our industry. Industry experts from operating foundries and dust collection experts will be available to answer your questions.

The September meeting on Additive Manufacturing & New Technology was a tremendous success with a series of excellent speakers and a tour of one of Virginia Tech’s additive manufacturing labs where we got an update on the latest research in the field. See a photo of the group at Virginia Tech below.
