This snippet is from our ninth Gold Nugget,  “Dr. Per Jansson changes the World one Slurry at the Time”, of the Goldcasting podcast. In this episode, we discuss new technologies, particularly Rheocasting. Dr. Per Jansson is the owner of Comptech AB. A former foundry that switched its business model to become a technology supplier with their slurrymakers. We talked about alloys that never solidify, marketing, and the struggles of new technologies in the foundry industry. You can also find out Per Jansson’s view on innovation.
