casting mold
Liquid metal container
A casting mold is a hollow form into which liquid material—metal, plastic, plaster, concrete—is poured to harden into a specific shape.
The mold determines the final object's contours: The bronze was poured into the casting mold and left to cool.
Industrial manufacturing relies on casting molds for everything from engine blocks to jewelry.
