Caterpillar provides foundry support
Caterpillar, Inc. recently made a financial contribution to a new
research metalcasting facility, built by the Clemson Engineering
Technologies Laboratory (CETL). The facility supports research projects,
provides educational opportunities to engineering, science and architecture,
arts and humanities students, and services the needs of CETL’s
commercial and government clients.
Metalcasting is a key component in the CETL’s Rapid Component
Fabrication (RCF) effort, which integrates the latest technical
advances in 3D computer aided design, rapid prototyping, and reverse
engineering with casting, to allow quick and inexpensive production
of experimental, but fully functional components.
To learn more about the CETL and the Clemson University Foundry,
visit www.cetl.org or contact
Donald L. Erich, Director of CETL, at 864-646-2413, ext. 207.
CETL director, Don Erich, accepts a gift from Joe
Markun, Caterpillar Precision Seals facilty manager. Looking on
is Bob Jeanmenne, Caterpillar Seals Metalcasting facility manager.
