The Polish Foundrymen's Association (STOP), together with the World Foundry Organization (WFO), will welcome over 700 representatives from 41 countries, including about 100 young scientists. Delegates will give over 200 presentations and share their knowledge and achievements on over 150 posters. The sessions are divided in five categories (materials, technologies, digitalization, management and ecology), in which both representatives of science and industry will present their works. The proceedings contain a comprehensive and innovative material that will surely become an inspiration to implement new solutions and projects.
The sessions will be accompanied by the exhibition "Creative Foundry", which is co-organized with Poznań International Fair. It will bring together more than 50 exhibitors, among whom suppliers of materials for foundries, representatives of scientific and research units, but first and foremost foundries from the country and the world can be found. The exhibition will present creative and innovative solutions in the field of casting technologies, casts, materials, production of castings, instrumentation, foundry machines and devices, as well as in management solutions.
During the 73rd World Foundry Congress, participants will not only have the opportunity to exchange their scientific and practical experience, but also take part in the International METAL Fair in Kielce, take one of nine technical trips which present the production capabilities of Polish representatives of foundry industry, or simply visit Krakow and get to know its rich history better.
This year's WFC will offer a great positive intellectual experience for congress participants. The industry is going through a profound change as electrification and 3D printing start to impact on the automotive sector. With knowledge comes power, and venues like this congress will give technical information and allow networking to take place so that informed decisions can be made and rather than looking at these shifts as threats, rather view them as opportunities.
-Mark Fenyes, World Foundry Organization President
