: Shell Mold Casting

MAS 2.0 - Guides - F.A.Q. - Tutorials - Home

 

Basic Information

Resin-coated sand is poured onto hot metal patterns, curing into shell-like mold halves. These are removed from the pattern and assembled with or without cores. Metal is poured into resultant cavities. Molds are broken to remove castings.
