2019 Die Casting Competition – <\/p>\n
Hello Die Casters,
\n![\"NADCA](\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/images\/NADCA-color_sm.jpg\" "\\"NADCA")
\nThe North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) holds a contest every year for the best castings. We are a month out from castings being due for the 2019 International Die Casting Competition. Based on the discussion at the technical congress earlier this year, some winners may not be up to par with what Chapter 30 die casters are doing. It would be great to get castings from Chapter 30 die casters, so the judges can see the difference.<\/p>\n
Spread the word about the die casting competition, so those die casters can enter their castings.
\nSubmit by June 17, 2017<\/p>\n
