Some key aspects of casting product design include:

Material selection: Understanding the properties of different materials used in casting, such as metals and alloys, is essential for designing products that can withstand the required stresses and strains during operation.

Design principles: Knowledge of design principles such as strength of materials, mechanics, and ergonomics is crucial for designing products that are effective, efficient, and safe to use.

Casting process: Knowledge of the casting process including design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing is important for developing and producing effective products.

CAD and CAM software: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software is used extensively in casting product design. Designers use these tools to create and simulate different product designs, validate their functionality and performance, and optimize the design for production.

Machining and fabrication: Understanding of machining and fabrication techniques is critical for the manufacture of cast products. Techniques such as CNC machining, welding, and heat treating are often used to produce cast products with high precision and quality.
