Metal casting is one of the oldest materials shaping methods, where molten metal is poured into a mold cavity and allowed to solidify. This produces a casted metal object that can take on intricate shapes, and is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Metal casting is ideal for small batch production and has advantages like dimensional accuracy, reuse of materials, and applicability across a wide range of industries and applications regardless of the size and weight of the product.

- 2. Metal casting is one of the oldest materials shaping method known. Casting means pouring molten metal into a mold with a cavity of the shape to be made, and allowing it to solidify. When solidified, the desired metal object is taken out from the mold. The solidified object is called the casting Vikrant Sharma, Assistant Prof. MITS Lakshmangarh.
- 3. Intricate shapes can be made It is possible to cast practically any material that is ferrous or non-ferrous Tools required for casting molds are very simple. For production of a small lot, it is the ideal process Size and weight of the product is not a limitation for the casting process. Reuse of material Vikrant Sharma, Assistant Prof. MITS Lakshmangarh.
