When our pattern is done, we create a mold using it. This mold is made from sand. Sand is moulded around the pattern to create a hollow space that is the same shape as the desired end grey iron castings product. Once the mold is prepared, we pour the molten metal into it. The molten metal then fills the whole mold, and upon cooling, we have the final part, just waiting to be removed
