Casting is a process that creates solid metal shapes by filling molds with liquid metal and allowing the object to cool. The basic metal casting process involves creating a pattern and a mold, then pouring molten metal into the mold. You will then extract the solid metal casting and finish your piece. This process is customizable for different types of metal casting, along with shapes, sizes, and more.
