Design Seminars

Scheduling a NADCA Design seminar on-site at your company is one of the best ways to increase knowledge about die casting, related to your company’s product line. The NADCA Design seminar covers all stages of a product life cycle from development, design, specification, all the way to manufacturing and beyond.

Conversions to Die Cast Components

The NADCA design assistance program promotes conversions to die casting components by educating designers on the various properties of die casting alloys and the advantages of converting from other manufacturing processes. Upon deciding to use die casting to manufacture products, designers are guided to the online die caster database which is a list of NADCA Corporate Member die casters. This gives Corporate Members exclusive visibility through the NACDA design assistance program.
