castable

Ready for molds

Castable describes something that can be cast—poured into a mold to take shape, or assigned a role in a production.

In manufacturing, a castable material like metal or concrete flows when liquid and hardens in the desired form.

In entertainment, a castable actor suits available roles: She's very castable—the right age and look for ensemble parts.

In programming, castable data can be converted from one type to another.
