An Example in Steel Casting    The Ice Cleat on the M1 Abrams Tank

Option 1

Parting Line Option 1

Option 1--  Cleat Up

The ice cleat  is oriented with the cleats and finer detail facing up.  It is preferable for the detailed features to be facing down in the mold with the large flat surface facing up.

Go back to the parting line and orientation page and choose another option.
