After the mold has been prepared, molten metal is poured into the cavity. The sand casting allows for the production of intricate shapes and sizes with relatively smooth surface finishes. Once the metal has cooled and solidified, the sand mold is broken away, revealing the finished casting.

As technology advances, sand casting continues to evolve. Innovations such as 3D printing are increasingly being integrated into the sand casting process, allowing for the rapid production of molds and more complex designs. This integration is poised to enhance customization and reduce lead times significantly.

While stamped parts offer numerous benefits, some considerations must be taken into account when incorporating them into lawn and garden projects. Firstly, the initial investment can be higher than plastic alternatives. However, this cost is often offset by the longevity of the materials. Secondly, some gardeners may prefer the aesthetic of natural materials like wood or stone; finding the right balance between aesthetics and functionality is key.
