Sand casting is used to make large parts (typically Iron, but also Bronze, Brass, Aluminum). It is the process where moist bonded or resin coated sand is firmly packed around a wood or metal pattern of the item(s) to be made. The wood and/or metal pattern is then removed and the resulting cavity is filled with the molten metal. Once the cavity is filled the mold undergoes air drying. The mold (s) are then removed to be cut from the gate and runner as individual pieces.

• Most versatile & low-cost method of casting.
• Strength and lightness in certain light metal alloys.
• Good bearing qualities are obtained in sand casted metals.
• Extremely large, heavy metal objects may be cast when they would be difficult or economically impossible to produce oth erwise.
• Suitable for Ferrous & Non-Ferrous materials void of limitations such as size, shape or weight.
• Suitable for low or unlimited quantities making this method ideally economical.
• The most intricate of shapes, both external and internal, may be cast.
