Casting is a metallurgic process that creates metal parts by pouring molten metal into a mold. This article will cover a few of the different methods to do this.

Sand Casting

The process of sand casting is very simple. The desired object to be cast is placed inside the sand, removed (leaving an imprint), and replaced with molten metal.

Lost Wax

Lost wax is a casting process where the mold is created by burning wax to remove it from the mold.
