For sand casting methods, casting patterns are delivered by the intricacy of required finished parts and the number of parts to be produced. Below are some of the various types of Sand Casting Patterns:

Solid Pattern:
A solid pattern is the most fundamental of all and is useful in improving shapes. As the name proposes, a solid pattern is one solid piece without any subparts or joints. They are appropriate for low-amount creations with complex parts. Determining a parting line for these patterns can be an issue. This pattern has the simplest creation.
Gated Pattern:
At times, it is useful to make different parts in one go. For that, producers use a singular pattern to make the pit for all the part spaces. There are runners between these pieces. These runners are generally called doorways. Accordingly, these patterns pass by the name of gated patterns.
Split Pattern:
This pattern has two halves of solid patterns. So, more dispersed shapes are manufactured using split patterns. These pieces are changed with the help of dowel pins. And hence the name “split patterns”.
Cope-Drag Pattern:
Cope and Drag tooling comprises two patterns, one for the cope and one for the drag. Producers use patterns to make impressions in the sand and together make a duplicate of the required part, along with the important gating framework to fill the mold with metal.
