Sand casting is a technique widely used in the manufacture of products. That is not a coincidence. The manufacturing process, which uses sand as the cast, is relatively simple. Thereby there is a high production flexibility, where low quantities are also possible. It is also possible to make large and complex components with sand casting.
This production method is possible with different materials, such as gray or ductile iron, non-ferrous metal or stainless steel (SS).

Possibly that is sand casting, but of course other casting is also an option. What is special about sand casting is that products acquire a stylish appearance and, over time, a natural patina. In addition, this method is relatively inexpensive because the mold for casting is made of sand. Also, many types of metal can be cast and products can be cast in a variety of sizes. One disadvantage is that the dies are easily breakable. Solidification also takes longer because sand conducts heat poorly. Sand casting is well suited for prototype products and limited series size products due to its low cost. Heycop will advise you whether or not sand casting is optimal for your product.
