Abstract
Introduction: In the change of the productive matrix at the national level, regulatory policies are established where it is established that the vehicles assembled at the national level must have a minimum of 19% of pieces and parts of national manufacture. In this context, the fastest growing automotive sector is analyzed. Objectives: A method is established to obtain the parameters of a distribution system of the casting of a foundry of a head of a 100-cc. engine which optimizes the process. Methodology: To obtain the model with which to work, make the geometry with the measurements of the best-selling model and brand, taking its measurements through photogrammetry, forming a cloud of points and then generating a mesh and transforming it into a solid element through a mechanical design software to have the physical properties, the material that we are going to use is the 7057 series aluminum which gives us resistance properties and easy machinability in others. Results: The process of obtaining the parameters of the casting system is conducted until an error of less than 1% is obtained, to graph it in CAD software and export it to an STL format to be able to print the model in 3D and mold it. in our arena, considering that it is the most economical system. Conclusions: To obtain the parameters of the distribution system of the drinker, the measurements of this are 200 mm, the error of the data is less than 1%, obtaining a lower diameter of 7.98 mm and an upper diameter of 13.96 mm. These parameters are made for a sand casting which serves us for the complex shapes that the motor head presents, the flow rate of the process with which we work is 0.1217 kg/s, for 7057 aluminums, and the optimal measures are printed in 3D with a PLA material to get all the shapes we need for casting.
