Description

Metal molding refers to those processes that involve creating workpieces using molten metal and a mold.

Overview of Process

Metal molding is a set of processes designed to create workpieces from molten metal. The metal is inserted into a mold, which shapes the material into the desired form.

Additional Notes

This is a classification process, not a end-node process. Specifying the detailed end-node process required will produce a better RfD search result.
