LOST FOAM CASTING
Motor Mount Casting for the DC Series wound electric motor
 These are the steps that I followed to produce the motor mount for the DC electric motor. The main goal in this part of the project is to produce a strong, lightweight, moderately complex shaped part with little time and machining effort. The first step in this process is to produce scale AutoCAD drawing of the part to be manufactured.


This drawing is necessary to assure the part will function as planned. The drawing is then printed to scale and a pattern is cut from the drawing paper. 

This pattern is then affixed to the foam with spray adhesive. The pattern is then traced out in the foam using a hot wire knife.
