General Description
The Practical Casting Kit: Modeling and Sand Casting of Hollow Parts, "MCLA", developed by EDIBON, is an essential educational tool for teaching the fundamentals of casting. This kit allows students to develop practical skills in molding and casting techniques, providing a deep and detailed understanding of the involved processes.
This kit includes a case equipped with all the necessary tools and components to simulate and practice effective casting processes. Step-by-step operations can be performed, including molding sand compaction, metal pouring, and part formation and finishing. The included models allow for the creation of a hollow cast piece, such as pipe reduction, which is fundamental for understanding both symmetrical and asymmetrical casting techniques.
The model pieces present different challenges in terms of symmetry and complexity. The creation of a hollow piece, such as pipe reduction, provides students with the opportunity to practice and understand various casting techniques, including cavitation and material shrinkage. This allows students to develop a comprehensive and detailed understanding of casting processes.
The "MCLA" Kit facilitates practical learning of casting processes by performing complete operations of sand compaction, metal pouring, and finishing of cast parts. Students learn to prepare molding sand, use the models to create precise molds, and handle molten metal safely and accurately. This not only enhances their theoretical understanding of casting principles but also develops essential practical skills in the manufacturing industry.
The Practical Casting Kit: Modeling and Sand Casting of Hollow Parts, "MCLA", is ideal not only for engineering students seeking a deep understanding of casting and solidification processes but also for manufacturing industry operators who need to improve their technical skills. Its use facilitates the transition from theory to practice, providing a solid foundation for future technical professionals and engineers.
