Paper presents Design For Manufacturing (DFM) to improve the manufacturing process and to eliminate the defects in sand casting. So paper also contains defect analysis to know the defect and its causes. Production of casting involves various processes like pattern making, molding, core making and melting etc. Defects in casting may occur due to different parameters like design, process and labor individually or combined. It is very difficult to produce defect free castings Design revisions are expensive and time consuming. Yet, these are inevitable because product designers have limited knowledge about casting processes and have no means to evaluate the influence of design features on castability. This paper presents use of numerical simulation software AUTOCAST to assist product engineers in assessing a part design for castability.
