Sand casting: Where tradition meets technology

23rd August 2016 Sand casting is a traditional process dating back many thousands of years, but components produced using this process are still an essential part of our lives today. In this article we outline the sand casting process as carried out in a modern foundry, where technology and tradition are combined. Although it dates back for thousands of years, the basic sand casting process has changed very little over that time. It remains the casting method of choice for many of the metal components that we live with every day. At NovaCast, sand casting has been an important part of our non-ferrous foundry in Melksham, Wiltshire for over 36 years. You can find out more about our casting capabilities and the quality control procedures that are so important in maintaining consistency and keeping to specifications on our website.
