Abstract: The present invention provides methods to create a pattern part, and a subsequent mold core package, that can be used in the casting process to cast one or more die components having a near net-shape of the finished part. In this way, the present invention provides a cast part which greatly reduces the amount of finishing work that needs to be performed on the part after casting. Further, the present invention provides a method which involves less upfront stock material to cast the near net-shape of the desired die component part. The present invention accomplishes this by providing an efficient and effective automated method to determine where and how to add appropriate mechanical features to a design model part to produce a manufacturing model part in a CAD software program.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了用于形成图案部件的方法和随后的模芯包装件，其可以用于铸造过程中以铸造具有近成网部件的一个或多个模具部件。 以这种方式，本发明提供了一种铸造件，其大大减少了在铸造之后需要对该部件进行的精加工的量。 此外，本发明提供了一种方法，其涉及较少的前期原料以铸造所需模具部件的近净形状。 本发明通过提供一种有效和有效的自动化方法来实现这一点，以确定在设计模型部件中何处以及如何添加适当的机械特征以在CAD软件程序中生产制造模型部件。
