Prospects for Сomputer-Aided Design of Castings

Volodymyr Doroshenko, Olena Mul, Olena Kravchenko

Abstract


In the study on limiting possibilities of a casting process in terms of resource saving it is considered which solid- state constructions can optimally fill the space of the mold. The possibility of designing patterns for the Lost Foam Casting process in accordance with mathematical concepts is shown. The examples of patterns of frame cellular castings are described. The examples of cellular castings, designed with the help of computer technologies, are shown that often inherit structures of nature. Such castings allow expanding of the existing range of properties of metal products.
