A process used to manufacture jewelry. Molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to cool resulting in raw piece of metal, also called a casting, which has taken the shape of the design in the mold. Items can be cast one at a time or in very large quantities with specialized manufacturing techniques.
This would be considered pouring or injecting the molten precious metal into the form where the wax once was. We have many examples of casting projects, tracked from the wax to the finished item, on the Current Work Page for your consideration, these are "live" projects being created at this time, from the top to the bottom examples of fine custom.
One of the basic ways of shaping molten plastic resins. It's like baking a cake. Instead of being squeezed into a mold, the resins are poured, in one of several ways: into an open mold, a double mold, or onto a moving belt, which is one of the ways sheet and film plastics are cast.
The method of duplicating an object by pouring metal into a hollow mold formed by the original object. Almost any jewelry object which can be made by hand can be reproduced by the lost wax or centrifugal casting process.
The process of duplicating an object by pouring molten metal into a hollow mold that has been made of the original object or model. In lost wax casting, used in jewellery production, molten gold is forced under pressure into a mold from which the wax model has been burned out.
The process of making an art object by pouring liquid material into a mold. When the material has hardened, the mold is removed. A primary type of casting is the lost wax process.
The initial step in the production of a porcelain collectible. Liquid clay is poured into a production mold and, after being allowed to dry, removed as a semi-firm piece.
A process that involves pouring liquid material such as molten metal, clay, wax, or plaster into a mold. When the liquid hardens, the mold is removed, leaving a form in the shape of the mold.

Operation in which the steel goes from the furnace or ladle to the ingot mould or continuous casting machine.
additive process, indirect method: reproducing a sculptural form: usually refers to pouring liquid plaster, metal or glass into a mould where it hardens, in contrast to pressing a more solid material into a mould (which is called moulding) Cire perdue/Lost wax: used since ancient times; method of casting metal or glass in a mould, the cavity of which, (or the positive of the form) is formed with wax which is then melted or burned off and displaced by the molten metal or glass: the process of filling space between the core and mould after the wax layer has been melted off through a vent when a molten material is poured into the mould: process has been used since ancient times 3. Sand casting: a process of metal casting with foundry sand (refractory sand with binding qualities) packed around a plaster model or cast to form a mould or negative of the original sculpture. See also Foundry, Mould

Pouring a liquid material, or slurry, like concrete, into a mold to form a physical form it will take on as it solidifies.
The term used to create a sculpture by pouring material into a mold. May indicate pouring of molten bronze into a mold in order to create a sculpture. The lost wax method used in classical antiquity used a model of wax enclosed in a mold of plaster, leaving vents for the bronze to enter and the air and wax to escape. The plaster mold is then broken and the bronze cast is finished off. The method of sand casting is long and produces separate pieces instead of one whole piece, that are then joined together for the desired object. However sand molds can be used repeatedly.

an additive technique of creating sculpture in which molten matter, usually metal, is poured into a mold and allowed to cool (ATA fig. 2-12; p. 10, fig. 2)
see also "substitution" method. Any molding technique that allows a sculptural form to be translated from one material into another. Molds are taken off of an original sculpture and the resulting "negative space" can be filled with another "castable medium" such as plaster or wax. More sophisticated casting methods require metal foundry equipment such as furnaces and crucibles in order to heat metal up to its liquid state for pouring into specially constructed molds made of "refractory" materials (sand and plaster mixed together is one such traditional material).
A method of shaping an object by melting the metal and pouring it into a specially prepared mold. On cooling, the metal retains the shape of the mold.
A technique for filling bombs and shells with explosive. It involves melting the explosive composition, pouring it into the container and leaving it to solidify. The method works best if the melting temperature of the mixture is low and the ignition temperature is high.

Although the large majority of Vogt production is hand fabricated, some of the pieces in the "Town and Country" offering are cast. This process, quite common in "Southwest" style of jewelry, is also done in sterling silver and gold. Castings are made by forcing molten metal into molds in the shape of the finished piece and polishing by hand. While a nice smooth surface finish is created, if a pattern is desired it must still be hand engraved.

The technique of creating an object by filling a mould of desired form with molten metal.
molten metal poured or forced into a mold made from a design model
A method for mass-producing metal or plastic letters or individual metal signs. Depending on the material, a rubber or metal mold of the item to be cast is prepared. The molten material is then poured into the mold. Once the cast material is cool, it is removed from the mold and finished. (See a sample of the cast signs we offer.)
Process whereby molten pewter is poured into a mould to form the desired article. This was the main way of forming pewter articles until the introduction of Britannia Metal allowed articles to be cold-formed from sheet metal. However, even then casting continued to be used for certain articles such as measures and pub pots, and it was also used to form the knops, handles, feet etc of articles whose bodies were made from sheet metal.
To shape molten metal by pouring into a mold to produce an ingot or a continuously cast slab.
A mold, which may be either cardboard or metal, is built according to desired shape. Acrylic resin powder and crystal-clear liquid are mixed to produce a thick, opaque liquid, called "slurry". First layer of slurry is poured into mold and embedment is glued onto partially-set layer. Final layer of slurry is poured over embedment to fill mold.

Nonferrous metal casting using aluminum as the molten, castable metal. Technological process for production of casts. The process consists of filling moulds of varying shapes with molten metal.
Metal designs that are formed with a mold, generally using the lost wax method. Castings are used extensively in costume jewelry because they can be mass produced much cheaper than stampings.
Pouring molten metal into moulds at any stage of the fabrication and manufacturing process.
Casting is a method of producing one or more copies of a sculpture. Typically, the original sculpture is modeled as usual and covered with a moulding material which sets hard when dry. The mould is then separated to release the original sculpture. Once the mould is reassembled, the casting material is poured in to the void and left to set. Traditionally, molten bronze is used as the casting material, but modern alternatives include resin. When the cast sculpture has cooled, or cured, the mould is again separated to release it, and reassembled ready to cast the next copy.
The finished product of a casting operation; should not be used for molding, q.v.
Casting is the process in which metal is shaped by melting it and pouring it into a mold. This process has been used for thousands of years. Molds are made from many materials, including plaster compounds. Some different methods of casting include the lost wax process, centrifugal (or investment) casting, and sand casting.
Casting is a manufacturing process by which a molten material such as metal or plastic is introduced into a mold, allowed to solidify within the mold, and then ejected or broken out to make a fabricated part. Casting is used for making parts of complex shape that would be difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods (such as cutting from solid material).
