Everything from pattern life and compensation to 3D-printed patterns and try-out plans. We document gate/riser changes, ECOs and fixture design that smooth the path from prototype to PPAP.
Dimensional Compensation In Tooling Who this helps: casting Design Engineers / Buyers / Tooling Engineers building patterns and core boxes for gray/grey iron, ductile iron, and ADI parts.What you’ll learn: practical shrinkage ranges, how to pre-comp for predictable distortion, and a fast T0→T1 feedback loop using CMM/3D scan.

Pattern life is not guesswork. With the right material, process, and maintenance cadence, you can confidently plan for 10k/50k/100k pulls—and know your true cost per part. This guide gives data ranges, inspection points, and refurb triggers you can put straight into your RFQ. Table of contents Pattern life drivers Life by pattern material & process…
