Sand casting is a metal molding process using sand molds. Covers over 61% of all metal casting productions. Originates from 1600 BCE in China
Mold making creates identical copies of objects using high-precision molds. Process dates back to Bronze Age for weapons and jewelry. Evolved from stone and clay to modern steel and silicone molds
Thermoforming molds thermoplastic sheets using pressure or vacuum. Process produces cups, containers, and car parts from thin or thick sheets. Two main techniques: vacuum forming and pressure forming
Process planning involves creating detailed technical documents and drawings. Material preparation includes selecting metals, sand mixtures, and equipment. Molds are created using various techniques like green sand molding. Metal is melted in furnaces and poured into molds. Post-casting operations include sand disposal and quality inspection
Injection molding tools shape molten plastic into desired forms. Key components include mold cavity, core, sprue, runners, gates, and ejector pins. Tools are typically made from steel or aluminum
