MCAM Practical Casting Kit: Modeling and Sand Casting of Solid Parts

The Practical Casting Kit: Modeling and Sand Casting of Solid Parts, "MCAM", 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 aluminum models (bell, anvil, and anchor) are fundamental for understanding both symmetrical and asymmetrical casting techniques.

The model parts present various challenges in terms of symmetry and complexity. The bell serves as a natural or single-piece model, the anvil as an asymmetrical pattern divided into two pieces that demonstrate shrinkage cavitation, and the anchor as a symmetrical model divided into two pieces. This allows students to practice and understand various casting techniques.

The "MCAM" Kit facilitates practical learning of casting processes through complete operations of sand compaction, metal pouring, and finishing of cast parts. Students learn to prepare molding sand, use aluminum 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 Solid Parts, "MCAM", 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.
