Sand Casting
Sand casting offers simple medium for production and is chosen for the production of, small numbers of castings for complex shaped casting requiring intricate cores and large non ferrous castings.
Sand castings are suitable in all Aluminium, Zinc, and Copper Alloys.
Sand casting can be used for small and large production runs and is the cheapest casting process for small production runs.
