have been used for centuries. Here's an overview of the old methods:
Mold Creation: Craftsmen would create a mold, typically made from clay, sand, or stone. For intricate designs, two-part molds might be used, allowing for more detail.
Pattern Making: A pattern of the object to be cast was made from wood or metal. This pattern would be used to form the mold. It was often slightly larger than the final product to account for shrinkage during cooling.
Mold Preparation: The pattern was placed in the molding material (like sand mixed with a binder) to create an impression. Once the mold was formed, the pattern was removed, leaving a cavity.
Melting the Metal: Metal was heated in a furnace until it reached a molten state. This could be done using charcoal, coal, or other fuels.
Pouring: The molten metal was carefully poured into the mold. This required skill to ensure that the mold was filled without creating air pockets or causing splashes.
Cooling: The metal was left to cool and solidify, which could take varying amounts of time depending on the size and type of metal.
Mold Removal: Once cooled, the mold was broken away to reveal the cast object. This often involved breaking apart sand molds or chipping away at clay or stone molds.
Finishing: The cast object would then undergo finishing processes like grinding, polishing, or additional sculpting to refine details.
