Sand casting is one of the oldest and most widely used casting processes in the manufacturing industry. It involves creating a mold from sand and then pouring molten grey cast iron into the mold cavity. The process begins with the preparation of a mold, which consists of two halves the cope (upper half) and the drag (lower half). The sand is mixed with a binder, usually clay, and water to create a mold that can hold its shape when the molten metal is poured.

The first step in the sand casting process is to create a pattern, which is an exact replica of the object to be cast. This pattern can be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or plastic, and it is often designed to be slightly larger than the final product to account for material shrinkage during cooling.
