foundry
Molten metal workshop
A foundry is a facility where metal is melted and cast into shapes—producing everything from engine blocks to church bells.
The word extends to any place where things are created or shaped: a type foundry designs and produces fonts.
The startup became a foundry for new ideas in renewable energy.
