Injection Casting

Casting, also can be referred as injection casting, is a manufacturing process, which has a long history of 6000years and the oldest surviving casting is a copper forging from 3200BS.

In the process of casting, a molding material is heated to a fluid state, than usually injected into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods.
