At Jaeger Technology
- [Why Shrink Allowance Matters in 3D Printed Casting Patterns](https://jaegertechgroup.com/why-shrink-allowance-matters-in-3d-printed-casting-patterns/) - Why Shrink Allowance Matters in 3D Printed Casting Patterns A casting pattern is not the same size as the finished part. Metal shrinks as it cools, and that shrinkage must be accounted for before the mold is made. This is called shrink allowance, and it is one of the most important details in foundry patternmaking.
