industrial sand casting

Metal has certainly been in use for a long time, beginning with the Bronze Age several thousand years ago. Metal has elaborated throughout our history as a society - from old swords used in medieval battles to brand new cars that drive on roads nowadays. Elsewhere on this site, we take you step-by-step through a simple and fun sand casting project where we create several small metal objects.

We cast our metal parts by using sand to make molds. Molds form the shapes of what we want to create, think cookie couter but on a bigger scale! Once the mold is made, hot melted metal gets poured in it and solidifies into that shape. This can be compared to making a cake in one of those fancy pans. Kinda like you wouldn't bake a cake in a dirty pan, the sand we use must be very clean and good quality. If the sand has a dirt mixed with small rock then those last touch will not work as per you expect? Therefore, having the appropriate type of sand matters a lot here!

The art of crafting intricate metal parts

How to make small and precise mechanical metal parts is indeed unique, which not everyone can do. Craftspeople who work in this area need to know a lot about casting metal, the types of metals available for use and how it can be worked using various tools. This is done by a meticulous operation with precise precision that requires continuous training to ensure smooth, beautiful shapes. In other words, creating these subtle pieces is an art and a science!

Sand casting revolutionized the way we make metal parts in the manufacturing world. It is a quick and cost-effective method used to produce metal parts. The process, being flexible here... it can be availed of in different shapes and sizes for our ease. If you need a single, specialty part for an upcoming project or numerous parts to fill a large order, sand casting offers the flexibility that accommodates your needs.
