The Purdue Center for Metal Casting Research (PCMC) is the focal point of research in the science and engineering of solidification processing. The goal of the center is to work with industry to advance commercial metal casting practices and develop new commercial solidification processes, supported by fundamental research in solidification science.

Models for funding casting-related research projects:

• Industry-specific, consortia projects for precompetitive research
• Partnering between PCMC and the industry on state and federal grants
• Industry-sponsored research for specific projects, with reduced overhead cost
• Testing agreements
• Senior Capstone Projects (Brochure (PDF) & Past Projects)
