For 20 years, the Santa Fe Symposium has proven to be a very important forum where goldsmiths and research scientists meet to share and discuss research results and practical experience, to network with colleagues and seek ways of solving practical problems. In achieving these objectives, it has been necessary to lower the barriers - created by wariness - that have always characterized the industry. In this presentation, we will illustrate the most important topics that have been discussed in these years, with special emphasis on investment casting, alloys and alloy treatment, powder metallurgy, factory organization and safety and health protection.
