Sand casting molds: Sand casting molds are a very common type of mold, which are cheaper to make as compared to other types. That makes them well-suited to a variety of uses

The sand casting mold: we put the wet sand in a box or flask, which is just a frame to hold the sand around our pattern. This pattern is a replica (of the part of which production is required. Patterns can be wooden, plastic or metal. Through putting the pattern in this box, we then slowly smash sand all around it to aesthetically depart at a void exactly where it was. This void is referred to as a mold cavity, and it mirrors the component that we are going to produce. After packing the sand around the pattern, we removed the pattern from the sand. This leaves a good print in the sand. Hence, we fill up the mold cavity with hot molten metal, which replaces the pattern space. We can remove it from the mold after the metal cools and hardens.
