A Design Study in Steel - Cast Connex Steel Construction Connector

Lessons Learned

Cast Connex and Pacific Steel Castings engineers worked together in a collaborative design and process optimization effort. 

Major lessons learned were:

  • Close collaboration and communication between designer and foundry are essential for rapid, effective design development, process optimization, and quality control management. 

  • Casting process optimization in the first item stage was critical  for production verification and quality assurance. Solidification modeling was an important tool in effective and timely design.
