PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 1, 2012 - Marc Savard has been chosen to be a guest speaker on Thursday, May 24th 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia during the RAPID 2012 trade fair. He will discuss the need in the casting industry for new, more effective way to fabricate castings in small quantities and what technologies like Nopatech™ can do to improve the development cycle of new products or the service of discontinued parts.

Nopatech™ is a patent pending process designed by Saguenay Foundry to solve a problem often encountered by customers: how to effectively manufacture parts in small quantities without sacrificing complexity and structural integrity? Nopatech™ uses the most recent development in robotics and software technology as an elegant solution to this problem. By avoiding pattern fabrication, castings can be shipped to a customer faster, in a more cost-effective manner.
