"I enjoy the ICI conferences and events as they are great learning experiences and great for opening your mind to new ideas etc. At the same time I find the networking and sharing thoughts and ideas with others in the industry is probably even more beneficial. This has led to making some very good friends within the industry."
Brad DeSplinter
TPM, Inc.
"The ICI has helped me to understand a lot: identification of critical process parameters, measurement of process parameters & optimization of process parameters for batter process control to get good quality casting. The Atlas of Wax and Casting Defects has helps identify critical process parameters and understand the effect of those process parameters on the quality of castings and wax patterns. The Ceramic Testing Guidebook and Standard Test Procedure for Pattern Materials helps me test raw materials and in-process materials. Ask the Experts has helped me to understand and optimize the results."

"Our company used the Ask the Experts site and the reply was very timely, and the technical advice helped further define our root cause investigation and ultimately help resolve the defect, thanks again for this support, as the industry experts did a great job in providing clear, concise feedback to provide technical direction."

There is a great deal of comradery among industry members who are focused on stimulating and growing the North American market . Particularly noteworthy is the outreach that is exhibited by members when a fellow member has difficulties or tragedies. Despite competition, the ICI members are always willing to help each other get through the hard times and enjoy the good times together."

"We have been sending Yamaha team members to the ICI certification course for over a decade and it has proven to be a true value in helping develop the team's understanding of the investment casting process. The best aspect of the yearly course are the connections our employees make with the students and industry professional instructors that come from other foundries where all can share their best practices learning from past experiences of others in our small metal casting community."
