PROJECT TITLE : SMART FOUNDRY 2020

SMART (Sustainable Metalcasting using Advanced Research and Technology) Foundry 2020 is a collaborative
project sanctioned under DST-TSD programme since September 2016. This project is an initiative by a
national network of researchers and entrepreneurs from Institutes like CSIR-NIIST, Thiruvananthapuram IIT-
Bombay, Mumbai, CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, VNIT, Nagpur and Jadavpur University Kolkata, to enable a
system for faster manufacture of small size intricate metal parts with better quality (than conventional sand
casting), lower cost (compared to machining or 3D metal printing) and minimal human intervention by
making use of cutting-edge technologies such as 3D CAD, process simulation, 3D printing, rapid tooling, and
process data analytics.

IIT-Bombay and CSIR-NIIST are collaborating in three modules viz., Casting Design & Simulation, efficient
melting & direct casting and data sensing and analytics.

The project staff positions at CSIR-NIIST would be involved in Multiphysics Casting Simulation software
package with collaboration with IIT-Bombay, Powai, Mumbai and development of online porting, visualization
and data analytics engines based on state of art IoT technologies.
