Abstract

In the late 1980's and early 1990's, use of CAD/CAM and computer graphics in both  ferrous and non-ferrous foundries increased considerably. An interactive computer system has  been developed using an Autocad software as a base for this system. Several routines have  been used to utilize the geometrical data. surface area and volume of the product drawn by the  Autocad techniques. A pattern model was built and splitted at parting surface to show parts of  casting in the cope and drag. It can also be viewed from any direction to check the facility of  Withdrawing the pattern from the molding sand. The system results in a complete planning  sheet that include casting weight, core prints, flask, gating and riser dimensions. The results  can be saved for any modification and new results can simultaneously be found. Some case  studies were described and presented.
