    Feb 23 2026

    In this episode of Foundry Talk, hosts Nate McClain and Perry Merritt chat with Dave Schmidt, VP of Finite Solutions Incorporated, about metal casting simulation software. Dave shares the company's history since 1985, debunking misconceptions (yes, it works!), and demos flow/solidification analysis to predict defects, optimize rigging, and improve yields.

    They explore real-world examples like turbulent fills, bottom gating issues, and how simulation aids robust processes—essential for modern foundries. Tips on using tools like SOLIDCast, plus contract services for those without in-house expertise.

  • Foundry Talk S2E1 with Bill Crouse of Protech Pattern & Design
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode of Foundry Talk, hosts Nate McClain and Perry Merritt talk with Bill Crouse of ProTech Pattern in rural Wisconsin. Bill shares his path from freelancing in 1996 to opening his dream shop in 2018—built right next to his home for ultimate convenience (and occasional work-home blur).

    They discuss running a small, fast-response pattern shop: long hours, quick turnarounds, CNC machining, laser scanning for quality, and exploring 3D printing for gating and cores. Bill covers the shift from traditional bench work to modern CAD and additive tech, plus the value of self-taught problem-solvers.

    Full of practical tips and passion from a dedicated small-shop operator—perfect for foundry folks and patternmaking enthusiasts. #podcast #foundry #manufacturing #smallbusiness
