What is a Sweep Pattern?
A sweep pattern is a type of pattern used in casting processes, particularly for producing cylindrical or tubular parts. A complete pattern is not necessary to make this symmetrical shape. A sweep pattern combines a simple pattern and a sweeping motion on the central axis. The sweep pattern consists of a sweep board, often made of wood or metal, which represents the desired cross-sectional shape of the casting, and a spindle that guides the sweeping motion.
