Foundry sand is composed of a mixture of refractory sand (silica) and a binder (bentonite) which is moistened and kneaded in a grinder. This mixture will be used to design single-use molds. The part used for reproduction is called the master model. It can be made of wood, resin or metal. The model will be slightly larger than the part to be obtained, to account for the shrinkage of the cast metal during cooling.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThe model will be placed halfway into a metal flask filled with sand compacted with a rammer. A second flask prepared in the same way will cover the first to conform to the shape of the part.

Molten bronze (1050°) is ladled from the crucible and then poured into the mold. Pouring must be done at a regular speed adapted to the desired part.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eFettling consists of demolding the cast part by breaking the sand mold.
