Molding Methods
Hand Molding
As its name suggests, all operations in hand molding are manual, requiring highly skilled personnel. This method is only suitable for a very small number of pieces or parts that are very complicated and cannot be produced using other methods.
Mechanical Molding
In foundries with high production volumes and series production, mechanical molding methods replace manual methods for the manufacture of molds and cores. This offers the following advantages:

Regulations and Design Considerations
The fundamental regulation for the calculation and design of low voltage installations is the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations (REBT) and its Complementary Technical Instructions (ITC), as per Decree 842/2002 of August 2nd. However, it’s crucial to consult the specific regulations of different suppliers.

Milling Cutters: An Overview
What is a Milling Cutter?
A milling cutter is a cutting tool used in milling machines to remove material from a workpiece. It has several edges or teeth and rotates about an axis to perform the cutting motion.
Classification of Milling Cutters
Based on Tooth Type:
- Milled Teeth: Characterized by straight boundaries, these teeth cut with ease and provide good performance. They are sharpened by grinding.
- Straight: Teeth are parallel to the axis, with the full edge cutting the

The Multimeter: An Introduction
The multimeter is an indispensable tool for measuring electrical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, and more. It displays these measurements on a scale or a digital panel.
Multimeters typically have multiple scales and ranges, allowing them to measure a wide variety of electrical values. They achieve this through different internal circuits, selected using switches or plugs. Despite the variety, many multimeters share common components.

1-Short description of the alternator.
ELECTRIC transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator receives the mechanical energy through a shaft with a pulley inside the alternator there is an armature and an inductor with a coil and magnets, based on polarity changes manages to create electricity, but that power is alternating current . The current is passed through a rectifier that converts ac to dc and a diode bridge or regulator that stabilizes the power of this
Mechanical Springs and Sealing Devices: A Comprehensive Overview
Springs
Elastically used to join together pieces of equipment.
Types of Springs:
- Coil Spring Traction: The coils are next to each other. They work, stretching, by the action of forces. Typically available at the end eyelets.
- Helical Compression Springs (tapered and notched barrel): The windings keep some distance between themselves (step). By the action of external forces compressed.
- Compression Spring in Truncated Cone: In a strip with a diameter that gradually decreases.
- Torsion Spring: They offer resistance
