Design Considerations

For high production runs, the designer for investment castings should apply the good practices for injection-molded parts because the pattern is injection-molded. Such practices include the use of a well-located, straight parting line, adequate draft, and avoidance of undercuts. Those practices produce a stronger as well as a better looking part.
