Not: It is advised to use Standard Linear Tolerances for functional part dimensions

Special Linear Tolerances
Advised Techniques iflinear tolerances are required:
i ) Re-design the product with additional bars, brackets and gussets
ii) Adjusting wax injection wax to the nominal dimensions after the prototype
iii) Flatness and Straightness
iv) Jigging and manual straightening
v) Machining
vi) Other secondary treatments

Premium tolerance practicability should be checked for each diemension of each part.

Straightness-Flatness
Depending on the lenght, Parts can be casted straight and flat within 0.10 mm tolerance.
For thicker parts this tolerance can be up to 0.25 mm.

Roundness
Hole profile is within Standard Linear Tolerances. When required, Premium Linear Tolerances can be applied.
If possible, it is advisable to apply General Linear Tolerances.

Concentricity
The gap between the centers of two cylindrical surfaces -which are sharing a common point or an axis as their center-, is not more than the gap between their diameters multiplied by 0.10 mm.
If the height of a cylinder is more than two times of its diameter Straightness Tolerance should be added to eccentricity.

Angularity
As a standard rule, +/- 0.5 degrees or +/- 0.02 of the length is a normal tolerance for production.
For some cases, Angular Tolerance can go down to +/- 0.25 degrees or go up to +/- 1.0 degrees

By using ceramic core, hole length can be increased to 30 x hole diameter.

Blind Holes
Hole Length=Hole Diameter

Counterbores / Grooves
Blind grooves can be casted up to 1.5 x width

Minimum Wall thikness and Corner Radius depends on the configuration and the dimensions of the part. In some casts, it is possible to have 0.3mm Wall Thicknesses and R 0.3mm Corner Radius.

Surface Roughness
Standart Surface Roughness in Investment casting is 125 RMS (Ra3.2-6.0). It is possible to improve Surface Roughness by using secondary methods and treatments.

Runners
For each section, one or more Runners with a thicker cross-section are used. After solidification, these Runners are removed by Grinding.
