The Development and Application of Casting Process CAD

In this article a 2D CAD system for casting design was developed by the virtue of Visual C ++ 6.0 and ObjectARX . The common casting process parameter design module, riser and gating design module, technological database management module in this system have been developed using the techniques of AutoCAD menu development, ARX and MFC combination, ODBC, information saving and resuming and established drawing base accordingly on the base of factory practice. The computer aided casting process design could be realized and the designing effciency could be raised using this system. The developed system has also been used for designing the castings from factories.
