Casting Belt Buckles By The Lost Foam Casting Process

Taking a simple foam pattern we cut on the cnc router we bend it and then glue it to a foam tree. next we melt down old aluminium and pour it in the prepared sand mole with the foam in it.
Super easy and just fun lost foam sand casting project

About dry sand: In green sand casting the sand+clay has a few percent water. Deliberately damp (and some clay) so the sand can hold together like a sand castle. The pores in the packed casting material are sufficient for water vapor produced to escape as the metal fills the mold.
