Sand
casting is the most ancient form of metal casting and has been around since at
least Ancient Egypt. Many metal casters prefer using sand casting over many of
the other forms of processes because it’s cheap and the sand used is readily
available.
Many experienced metal casters will continue to use sand casting even though
their abilities and resources allow them to use the other metal casting methods
like Lost Wax Casting or Investment Casting. Sand casting involves less
material and less effort than the other casting methods. Sand casting is a
great way for new casters to get into the trade.
