    Study Notes

    Casting Part Design

    • Uniform wall thickness in cast part design allows for more equal part shrinkage.
    • This also enables better removal from the mold.
    • Uniform wall thickness helps eliminate porosity in the cast part.
    • It does not necessarily allow for more complex geometric shapes.
