Chapter 1Sand Casting Processes

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 1 –10

[Sand casting is a mold based net shape manufacturing process in which metal parts are molded by pouring molten metal into a cavity. The mold cavity is created by withdrawing a pattern from sand that has been packed around it. Since the pattern imprint forms the cavity, the pattern creates the...

Chapter 2Tool Design and Construction for Sand Casting

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 11 –36

[Typically, the sand-casting tool design and fabrication process begins when the tool builder receives the part design from the client or design engineer. In general, the part design can be communicated in variety of ways such as by a physical part, a 2D engineering drawing, a 3D computer...

Chapter 3Fast Freeform Fabrication Methods and Processes

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 37 –51

[Fast freeform fabrication, also called rapid prototyping, is the automatic manufacturing techniques using slicing and additive processes. The first techniques for fast freeform fabrication became available in the late 1980s and were used to produce models and prototype parts. With the fast...

Chapter 4Rapid Tooling Processes

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 53 –68

[Sand casting is one of several near net shape manufacturing processes. In near net shape manufacturing, multiple copies of the product are produced by imprinting the shape of the tool or die on a suitable working material. Typically, the working material starts out as a liquid, powder, or...

Chapter 5Sand Casting Dimensional Control

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 69 –98

[Dimensional accuracy and variability are critical factors in the casting process that must be considered at each stage of the process. Dimensional accuracy is an indication of how close a casting dimension is to design intent (the actual target value). Dimensional accuracy is often referred as a...

Chapter 6Evaluating Tooling Alternatives

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 99 –116

[Evaluation of tooling alternatives is the comprehensive mental exercise involved in selecting the most efficient way to produce a sand casting pattern. Selection of the proper tooling process can significantly effect the time, cost and accuracy of castings involved. Selection of an appropriate...

Chapter 7Tooling Alternative Selection Case Studies

Wang, Wanlong; Stoll, Henry W.; Conley, James G.

Pages: 117 –141

[The tool path evaluation form shown in Table 7.1 is a simple form that allows a sand casting tool design professional to quickly estimate the best tooling alternative selection for a given casting geometry as a function of production volume. The form also allows the tooling professional to...
