2. Dimensional Tolerances Precision is paramount in stamping design. Engineers must define appropriate tolerances that account for variations in the stamping process. Tight tolerances may be necessary for components that fit into other assemblies, while more lenient tolerances may be acceptable for less critical parts.

3. Reducing Metal Penetration One of the potential issues in casting is the penetration of molten metal into the sand mold, leading to defects like metal penetration or drop-out of sand particles. Effective facing sand is designed to minimize this penetration, preserving the mold shape and preventing unwanted inclusions in the final product. A well-constructed facing sand layer can create a barrier that helps to ensure a defect-free casting.
