Marc Karakoc is a dedicated engineer specializing in foundry technology, with a strong focus on innovative casting methods and project management. Currently engaged in a doctoral project, Marc is exploring the groundbreaking Lost Foam casting technique, which allows for the production of castings ranging from 0.5 to 25 tons without the need for feeders. This approach not only enhances the efficiency of the casting process but also significantly reduces material waste, aligning with contemporary sustainability goals in the manufacturing sector.
With a solid educational foundation from the Superior School of Foundry (DPE Paris), Marc has honed his expertise in various types of cast iron, including nodular and gray cast iron. His passion for molding extends beyond mere technical proficiency; he is committed to providing tailored solutions for clients seeking to optimize their projects. Whether it’s lightening components, altering metal grades, or reducing production costs, Marc leverages his extensive knowledge in aluminum, steel, and continuous improvement methodologies like Kaizen to drive successful outcomes.
Marc's skill set encompasses project management, new business development, and strategic planning, making him a versatile asset in the foundry industry. His proactive approach to problem-solving and dedication to innovation positions him as a thought leader in the field, particularly in the realm of advanced casting techniques. As he continues to develop his doctoral project on Lost Foam, Marc is eager to collaborate with industry partners to push the boundaries of what is possible in foundry operations, ultimately contributing to the evolution of casting technologies.
