Definition
| Also known as a molding, this process is used to produce parts that often require machining. It uses molten metal to fill a cavity, and the metal retains the desired shape of the mold cavity after solidification. Its advantages include that the material can be converted from a crude form into a desired shape in a step, and its scraps are easily recycled. |
