CNC machined Precision casting

The ultimate success of the casting design depends on the communication between the designer and foundry engineers. When the foundry is properly informed of part requirements, there is usually a compromise of specifications that will allow for maximum compliance to print specifications and finish part design. 1 Standard Linear Tolerance(mm) As-cast tolerances of angles is mainly a function of the part design and their ocation in casting. They range from +/- 1/2 degree (considered minimum) for well supported positions to +/- 2 degree where existing distortion could be expected. Inclusion of gussets and ribs normally minimizes distortion and many sections can be mechanically straightened. 3 Flatness, Strengteness and RoundnessSection Thickness
