Pattern Making

An alternative method for strong-ridged parts is metal sand castings. In sand casting, the first requirement is the design and the making of a pattern. This is a duplicate of a part that is to be cast but modified in accordance with the basic requirements of the casting process and the particular molding technique that is to be employed.

The pattern material is determined primarily by the number of casting to be made. For small quantities, wood is most often used. For large quantities aluminum, magnesium, or certain hard plastics are employed. Typical applications are machinery, farm equipment, automotive and marine.
