Tubalcain shows how to make a simple sand mold using a flat back pattern. The mold is made in a steel flask using an oil based foundry sand called PETRO-BOND. This is an ancient process, but is still used today and is highly automated.

This is Episode 1 of a series of video blogs on Additive Technologies (also known as Rapid Prototyping).
Today we’re looking at the Multi-Material Polyjet machines which can mix both rigid and soft materials together on the fly to grow parts that simulate over-molding and other complex applications. This process is great for small to medium sized parts (it’s not always cost effective for large parts) and is often used for a variety of prototyping applications (the material is not usually suited for end-use applications), creating a direct tool for a silicone mold, and investment casting.

This will be a multi part video on foundry pattern making. A wooden pattern is used to make an impression in the sand mold. A silica sand core is inserted to produce the cylinder bore in the casting. A wood pattern of the cylinder is turned on the Clausing lathe.
