Casting has various processes like Pre casting Processes, pattern making, core making, molding and mold assembly making, Casting Processes, furnace charging, melting, holding and pouring, and Post casting Processes, shakeout, inspection and dispatch etc. In India there are many foundry have followed conventional and manual operations. Today’s competitive environment has, lower manufacturing cos...

INTRODUCTION Prefabricated metal and ceramic posts can be used with different kinds of core materials as an alternative to the conventional casting post and cores. It is unclear how these post and core systems can withstand different kind of forces in the mouth. The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated, crowned maxillary incisors restored with cas...

OBJECTIVE To identify the effect of serial casting combined with Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection on spastic equinus foot. METHOD Twenty-nine children with cerebral palsy who had equinus foot were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Rehabilitation Medicine. The children were divided into 2 groups, one of which received serial casting after BTX-A injection, and the other which only...

This chapter first describes the robotic CAM system proposed from the viewpoint of robotic servo controller for an industrial robot RV1A. Then, a reverse post-processor is proposed for the robotic CAM system to online generate the original CL data from the NC data post-processed for a five-axis NC machine tool with a tilting head. Next, an application of the industrial robot with incorporated t...

Cell-based first-hit ray casting is a new technique for fast perspective volume visualization. This technique, based on the well known ray casting algorithm, performs iso-surfacing and supports interactive threshold adjustment. It is accelerated by the reduction of average ray path lengths to only a few steps per pixel. The volume is divided into cubic sub volumes. Each sub volume that is inter...

Many graphical objects can be represented by swept volumes (including its subset – generalised cylinders) by sweeping 2D or 3D templates along 3D trajectories. In this paper, we present a new approach for constructing swept volumes using image templates. We utilise scalar fields as our underlying data type, and employ volume ray casting techniques for rendering swept volumes in their original s...

Short term immobilization of the lower limb is associated with increased corticospinal excitability at 24 hours post cast removal. We wondered whether daily stimulation of the motor cortex might decrease brain reorganization during casting. We tested the feasibility of this approach. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), resting motor threshold and recruitment curves were obtained at b...

background and aim: an important criterion for success assessment of implant-supported prostheses is marginal fit. vertical and horizontal discrepancy can result in loosening of the prosthetic screw, crestal bone resorption, peri-implantitis and loss of osseointegration. despite careful attention to waxing, investing, and casting, marginal discrepancies are inevitable. the aim of this study was...

Mandibular molar with extensive loss of tooth structure, especially where no cavity wall is remaining, and insertion of posts in both the roots appear necessary so as to achieve proper retention for the core material. A single unit metal casting with two posts, one in the mesial root and the other in the distal divergent root, is difficult to fabricate due to difference in the path of insertion...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bridge orientation in casting machine on castability and quality of base metal castings. methods: three groups of patterns with different direction and lengths in casting machine were casted and then studied qualitatively and quantitatively using mean and standard deviation in table of frequency. results: larger nodules and poros...
