Calculation method
Calculation method
Steady-state throughput (pieces/hour)
Molds/(casting+drying reset), one cast per mold cycle.
Batch waves
ceil(target pieces/molds).
Last cast completion (hours)
(waves−1)×full cycle + casting time; final reset excluded.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Observed casting-drying durations, mold count. Returns Batch throughput and schedule. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Observed casting occupied time per mold (hours): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Drying and reset time per mold (hours): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Available molds: minimum 1, maximum 10000. Target pieces: minimum 1, maximum 1000000.
