Metal Pouring into
 the Sand Mold

  • No-bake sand molding can meet the baseline requirements for the connector for surface finish, detail level, and cost.  It actually has slightly better numbers than green sand for surface finish.
  • The key issue is that no-bake sand molding can hold tighter dimensional tolerances at larger dimensions than green sand.  It meets the target tolerance of 2.6 mm for the larger dimension.

No-bake sand molding is the best choice for the larger connector.
