Sand casting, also referred to as sand molding casting because it is a metal casting process using compressed sand as the mold material. The process involves the pouring of molten metal into the sand mold where it solidifies in the mold cavity. The versatility of sand casting has been proven through centuries of development, it is the most widely used metal casting method.

Many factors have to be taken into consideration for producing high-quality sand castings, the designers have to pay careful attention to the shaping requirements and dimensional needs. Sand casting can be used to produce metal parts in a wide range of sizes and designs, and a huge variety of metals and alloys can be processed.
