As explained by Reliance Foundry in the article “11 Metal Casting Methods,” metal casting remains one of the most cost-effective ways to produce parts with complex geometries. By pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool, manufacturers can create precise shapes more economically than machining parts from solid blocks.
Metal casting is a versatile process, with numerous methods depending on the intended application, metal type, production volume, and tolerance requirements. Before starting a casting run, understanding key foundry terms and techniques can help manufacturers select the most efficient process.
