American Metalcasting Consortium to hold technology review in Chicago.AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System will be presenting at the American Metalcasting Consortium (AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) See AdvancedTCA. ) Annual Technology Review scheduled for Oct. 26-27 in Chicago at the Sheraton Gateway Suites--Chicago O'Hare Airport. AMC is made up of the top four metalcasting technology and trade associations, including AFS, and enjoys direct access to more than 2,400 metalcasters. This year's review will highlight new metalcasting technologies addressing the Defense Logistics Agency's procurement process to eliminate backorders, reduce procurement leadtimes, enhance part quality and ensure a reliable U.S. metalcasting base in the procurement of castings to improve warfighter readiness. The two-day session will feature several key presentations, including one on electronic information and commerce presented by AFS. Other topics include short-run tooling, rapid tooling for low-volume die castings die casting Forming metal objects by injecting molten metal under pressure into dies or molds. An early and important use of the technique was in the Linotype machine (1884), but the mass-production automobile assembly line gave die casting its real impetus. , design and supply chain solutions, and integrated design The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.
