Metal casting is a technique in applying a product design or making machine products/components, motorbikes and others. Metal Casting Technology is something new for teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Bukittingi. This community service activity was initiated to upgrade teacher skills in understanding metal technology to teachers at Vocational High Schools so that the skills they have are more developed in designing 3-dimensional objects and realizing them in the form of real products. It is hoped that through the training given to teachers at SMK, they can stimulate creative ideas in drawing techniques using CAD software and realizing them in the form of automotive component products.
