What is wooden pattern?

A wooden pattern, also known as a foundry pattern, is a replica or a model of a part or component that is to be cast in metal. It is typically made from wood, although other materials, such as plastic or metal, may also be used.

The purpose of a wooden pattern is to provide an accurate and detailed representation of the final product. It is used in the casting process to create a mold for the metal product by placing the pattern in sand or other material and then removing the pattern once the mold has been created.

Wooden patterns are often made by skilled craftsmen or patternmakers using specialized tools and techniques. They may be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the needs of the casting process. In addition to being used in metal casting, wooden patterns may also be used in other applications, such as woodworking and furniture making.
