In mold design, the orientation of the part in the
mold is an important factor in producing a sound casting.
The part should be oriented in
the mold, so that:
-
The parting line
(where the top and bottom molds fit together) is straight and horizontal.
-
Metal flow is uniform
with no drops in the different sections of the casting.
-
The cores can be
securely positioned in the mold.
