During or after cooling, the cast part is removed from the mold and then processed for delivery （交货）. Casting processes and cast material technologies vary from simple to highly complex. Material and process selection depends on the part’s complexity and function, the product’s quality specification, and the projected cost level.;Castings are parts that are made close to their final dimensions by a casting process. With a history dating back 6000 years, the various casting processes are in a state of continuous refinement and evolution as technological advances are being made. Sand casting is used to make larger parts (typically iron, but also bronze, brass and aluminum). Molten metal is poured into a mold cavity formed out of sand. The processes of sand casting are discussed in this section, including patterns （模样）, sprues（浇口） and runners （浇道）, design consideration, and casting allowance（余量、公差）. （chipping allowance，fitting allowance，grinding allowance）;The cavity in the sand is formed by using a pattern (an approximate duplicate of the real part), which are typically made out of wood, sometimes metal. The cav
