InnovnfIon from AsIn
Now, Asia that had come to produce about 60 percent of the world production of investment
castings came to form the third pole of the world with North America and Europe.
So, it is a big meaning for investment castings industry in Japan and an Asian region to
hold the first World Conference on Investment Casting (WCIC) in Japan that is the country
of information center of the investment casting industry in Asia, and to show the progress
and revolution of the Asian investment casting technology in the world.
