Sand Casting

At Syncraft Precision, we produce custom industrial casting products that deliver precision and durability across industries such as mining, marine, and agriculture. With a focus on custom marine components for boats and mining equipment for heavy industries, our solutions are built to perform in the most demanding environments.

What is Sand Casting?

Sand casting is one of the oldest and most versatile metal casting processes, used to create everything from small components to large industrial parts. It involves packing a special sand mixture around a pattern to form a mold, then pouring molten metal into the cavity. Once the metal cools and solidifies, the sand mold is broken away, revealing the final shape.

This method is widely used because it’s cost-effective and adaptable to complex designs. Sand molds can be easily shaped to accommodate intricate details, making it ideal for custom parts. Plus, it works with a variety of metals, including aluminum, bronze, and steel, ensuring flexibility across different industries.

At SynCraft Precision, we specialize in high-quality sand casting, delivering durable and precisely engineered parts for various applications. Whether you need a single prototype or large-scale production, our expertise ensures reliable performance and exceptional craftsmanship.

Step 1. Pattern Creation
A pattern (a replica of the final part) is made from wood, metal, or plastic. Patterns include allowances for shrinkage and machining.
Step 2. Mold Preparation
The pattern is placed in a flask (a box-like frame), and molding sand is packed around it to form the mold. The mold is divided into two halves: the cope (top) and the drag (bottom).
Step 3. Pattern Removal
The pattern is carefully removed, leaving a cavity in the sand that matches the shape of the desired part.
Step 4. Core Placement (if needed)
For parts with internal cavities or complex geometries, sand cores are inserted into the mold.
Step 5. Mold Assembly
The cope and drag are reassembled, and the mold is securely clamped together.
Step 6. Pouring Molten Metal
Molten metal is poured into the mold through a sprue (a funnel-shaped opening). The metal fills the cavity and takes the shape of the pattern.

The Sand Casting Process

At SynCraft Precision, we take pride in transforming raw metal into high-quality, custom-engineered parts using the sand casting process. It’s a time-tested method, but we refine it with modern precision to meet your exact needs.

FAQs

Sand casting is a process where molten metal is poured into a sand mold to create parts and components. It’s one of the most cost-effective and versatile methods for producing complex shapes in metal, widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and more.
We can cast a wide range of metals, including aluminum, steel, and iron. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of your project, such as strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
While sand casting offers good precision, it’s best suited for parts where slight variations are acceptable. We use advanced techniques to improve accuracy, but it’s generally not as tight-tolerant as other methods like investment casting.
Sand casting is great for making everything from small parts to large, heavy components. It’s commonly used in machinery parts, engine blocks, and industrial equipment, offering both strength and flexibility.
