Pattern Shop

1. The pattern shop produces patterns and tools to enable the foundry to create castings that meet customer requirements. Patterns are a one-time cost while castings have repetitive costs. 2. A pattern is a replica model of a desired casting. When packed in molding material and used to pour molten metal, it creates a cavity in the mold that produces the casting after solidification. 3. Common types of patterns include match, skeleton, gated, single-piece, multi-piece, loose piece, and sweep patterns. The pattern shop uses tools like steel, try squares, marking gauges, saws, chisels, and planes to make patterns such as dovetail lap joints.

 Pattern Shop

Introduction:
The pattern shop has to produce pattern and all other tools that enable foundry to
produce a casting that is “conform” to the customer (and foundry) requirement. The
pattern is one time cost where casting is repetitive cost. To produce the pattern, the
shop needs information. This information can be partly delivered by the customer, partly
set after a discussion between engineering, production and pattern shop, partly from
experience built files (shrinkage).

Pattern:
A pattern making may be defined as a replica model of desired casting which, when
packed in a suitable molding material, produces cavity called mould. The cavity when
filed with molten metal, produces the desired casting after solidification of the poured
metal.
Types:
1. Match pattern 2. Skeleton pattern
3. Gated pattern 4. Single-piece pattern
5. Multi-piece pattern 6. Loose piece pattern
7. Sweep pattern 8. Follow-board pattern

Tools and Equipment used for Pattern Shop:
1. Steel 2. Try square
3. Marking gauge 4. Rip saw
5. Tenon Saw 6. Mortise chisel
7. Mallet 8. Jack plane
9. Wood rasp file 10. Nail set

Job title: Fig 3: Tools of pattern shop


To make dovetail lap joint
Apparatus:
1. Steel rule 2. Try square 3. Marking gauge 4. Rip saw 5. Tenon saw 6. Mortise chisel 7. Mallet 8. Jack plane 9. Wood Rasp File
Procedure:
1. The wooden pieces are made into two halves and are checked for dimensions. One side of pieces is planned with jack plane and for
Straightness. An adjacent side is planned and checked for sureness with a try square.
2. Marking gauge is set and lines are marked at 40-50 mm to make the thickness and width according to given figure. The excess
material is planned to correct size.
3. Using tenon saw, the portions to be removed are cut in both the pieces. The excess material in X is chiseled with mortise chisel.
4. The excess material in Y in chiseled to suit X. The end of both the pieces is chiseled to exact lengths.
Precaution:
1. Wood should be free from moisture. Marking is done without parallax error.
3. Care should be taken while chiseling. Matching of X and Y pieces should be tight.
