Mould Pattern Making

The Mould Pattern Making (MATMP401) module develops learners’ knowledge and practical skills in designing, producing, and finishing mould patterns for metal casting. It focuses on workplace preparation, task analysis, tool and material organization, and safety practices. Learners gain competence in pattern and core box design, moulding box fabrication and assembly, and the use of Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) for precision work. The module also covers surface finishing, product protection, workplace maintenance, and technical reporting. By completion, learners can plan, fabricate, assemble, and finish mould patterns and boxes in line with industrial quality and safety standards.
