Re: Sand casting?
Madison,

Please send me the model to my e-mail address. I have personally designed over 40 sand castings for FANUC robots. Our volume is between 50 and 400 per year and sand casting is the most economical. Investment casting will be too much money. The biggest rule of thumb is to eliminate / reduce the number of cores required and also minimize the number of gates required. Gates are used to make sure the air entrapment is minimized.
Paul
