The manual shaping efficiency is low and the shaping effect is not obvious. Moreover, the process of manual shaping is uncontrollable, and the stress degree of the casting cannot be controlled, affecting the size and structure of the casting, resulting in problems such as out-of-tolerance dimensions and cracks.
