The second process is used in the foundries for producing cast products. This is the oldest and simplest (in theory but not in practice) means of manufacturing shaped components. Other techniques, ...

Sand casting is the most popular and widely used method of creating expendable moulds. With 60% of them being made this way. The following advantages separate it from other manufacturing processes ...

Recent advances in 3D printing have transformed the traditional sand casting industry by introducing techniques that significantly enhance design flexibility, reduce production lead times, and ...

With most casting today, the process starts at the computer, where a part has been designed and needs to be developed for precision sand-casting. The part is broken down to determine how many molds ...

There exists a need for ever more accurate parts and products to be created, and to be created quickly and efficiently. One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid ...

Sand casting and investment casting are methods of creating metal parts by pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds. Although methods are thousands of years old, both have been refined over ...

Sand casting has been around since, well, since a really really long time ago. For thousands of years, people have been pouring molten metal into finely crafted sand casts, and there’s really no ...

Professor Stoll's experience is in the broad areas of product design and development, mechanical systems design, and manufacturing with a primary focus on the interface between product design and ...
