In metalworking and jewelry making, casting is a process in which a liquid metal is delivered into a mold that contains a negative impression of the intended shape. The metal is poured into the mold through a hollow channel called a sprue. The metal and mold are then cooled, and the metal part is extracted. The casting process, also known as founding, involves melting metal and pouring it into the mold cavity, which is close to the final dimensions of the finished form.
