A Design Study in Rapid Prototyping for Castings                                        

Thin Wall Considerations
The drawing of the finished frame to the right shows two features which may restrict metal flow if they are produced in the casting, rather than by rough machining.

Feature A -- Top Plate Cut-Out

Feature B -- Side Step Cut-Out

Choose the Feature
(A-Top Plate Cut-Out or B- Side Step Cut-0ut)
which should be considered for rough machining,
rather than net-shape casting with cores.
