In this video, I demonstrate an easy method for making sand casting flasks using inexpensive tongue and groove boards while ...

You can melt down almost any kind of aluminum—cans, even—but a piece that has already been cast (such as a water pump, wheel, or intake manifold) will have an alloy that's better suited for casting.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sand casting and investment casting are methods of creating metal parts by pouring molten metal into three-dimensional ...

Pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds to make metal parts is the basis behind both sand and investment casting. But there are significant differences between these two methods. In sand ...

There exists a need for ever more accurate parts and products to be created, and to be created quickly and efficiently. One way of doing this is to use rapid prototyping technologies. Rapid ...
