Abstract: The article focuses on the American Foundry Society’s (AFS) extensive involvement in funding, managing, and partnering on research projects aimed at advancing the metalcasting industry in North America. AFS supports initiatives ranging from improving aluminum and investment casting processes, developing machine learning tools for defect detection, to additive manufacturing advancements for aerospace applications, often in collaboration with government agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and industry partners. Additionally, AFS provides digital resources such as the Peters-Robison AFS Metalcasting Library and Casting Alloy Data Search (CADS) to facilitate knowledge transfer and technical support. The society also organizes numerous conferences, workshops, and e-learning programs to promote professional development and industry innovation. [Extracted from the article]
