The Segal Iron Pour is an annual event that introduces students to a centuries-old manufacturing process. During the Iron Pour, students pour molten iron from a 2,700-degree furnace into 3D-printed and sand-casted molds.

The event is held as a culmination of DSGN 395-64: Leonardo, Geometry, and the Art of Manufacturing, a course taught by Segal faculty members Matthew Cummins and David Gatchell.

Join us for the 6th annual Segal Iron Pour, a one-of-a-kind experience that aims to stimulate curiosity in sand casting, forging, and other types of manufacturing. The Iron Pour features Segal students, faculty, and staff who will demonstrate the forging process by pouring hundreds of pounds of molten iron into creatively designed molds. The Segal Iron Pour is open to the McCormick community, including students, faculty, and staff.
