a cavity usually formed in sand into which molten metal is poured
A form or model pattern of a particular shape, used in fixing the shape of a plastic mass. Sometimes spelled "Mold."
Also known as a tool mould is a metal block, usually steel or aluminium, that is carefully eroded on one side to leave the shape of the kit sprue mould usually comprises two halves which are brought together during the injection moulding process and then taken apart to leave the finished sprue. During the process, hot plastic is poured into the mould which runs into the channels and takes the form of the sprue. Once cooled, the plastic is removed from the tool as the finished sprue release agent can also be used to ensure the plastic doesn't stick to the mould.
hollow (or negative) container used in casting to shape material allowed to harden in it. A typical mould is made of Plaster of Paris: A waste mould can only be used once because it is detroyed when removing the cast. Piece moulds may be reused. See also Casting, Foundry

A concave shape made from plaster of Paris for slip casting. Also the die used for press-moulding.
Normally consists of a top and bottom form, made of sand, metal, or any other investment material which contains the cavity into which molten metal is poured to produce a casting of definite shape and outline. The American spelling of this word is "mold". See Mold.
Most commonly, a hollow (negative) container used in the casting process. Plaster is the most traditional material for molds, though they may also be made of latex, rubber or gelatin. Also, a form over which materials such as molten glass and leather-hard ceramics are draped to shape them. 1.

In papermaking, a type of tray, made with wire mesh in a wooden frame, over which the paper pulp is spread. In fine art and manufacturing, a cavity into which a fluid, such as metal or plastic is poured, which hardens, to produce the desired finished piece.
