Victoria – 26th Annual Technologists’ Picnic

26^th Annual Technologists’ Picnic

Adam is a former simulation engineer who has spent the last 12 years applying that background to the foundry industry. Hasco Foundry, the family business, had humble beginnings in the back yard of his grandfather’s house where it grew from a hobby foundry into a successful business. Fast forward a few decades and it now uses sand 3D printing technology to revolutionise the way it produces castings.

We have a diverse range of customers ranging from defence and automotive to art and restoration. Join us for a presentation about the history of the foundry, and how it has reinvented itself to take advantage of new technologies like 3D sand printing. In particular, we’ll look at how a V12 engine block morphs from an idea into horsepower, all made in country Victoria.
