Seems like most of the metal casting projects we feature are aluminum in sand molds, though, so it’s refreshing to see a casting project using silicone molds to cast low-melting point metals.

a sand mold for casting a part from metal. Currently there are many limitations with rapid prototyping to create sand molds and cores for casting parts: speed, accuracy, consistency, strength, and ...

Dive into the world of metal casting with this detailed look at the aluminum sand casting process. Watch as molten aluminum is carefully poured into sand molds, where it solidifies into precision ...

The silicone plugs were then used to make sand casting molds, and a series of casting trials moving from copper to bronze finally yielded usable pieces for the table. In case that all seems too ...
