As highlighted by LearnMech in the article “Introduction to Metal Casting | Casting Terms | Advantages and Disadvantages of Casting”, metal casting is one of the oldest and most versatile manufacturing methods still in use today. The process involves pouring molten metal into a mold cavity, allowing it to solidify, and then removing the final product—referred to as a casting—once it cools.
Metal casting enables manufacturers to produce complex, high-strength components that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using other methods. Molds can be made from sand—favored for its heat resistance—or from durable metals for repeat casting. This flexibility allows casting to accommodate intricate designs and large-scale components alike.
