This automated line at Nemak of Mexico is used to produce engine cylinder blocks.

Nemak Line 		Sand cores are used in a variety of metalcasting processes to produce hollows in the metal.

Coremaking 		The diecasting process can be highly automated, as it is here in the production of automobile wheels.

Diecasting
While many metalcasting facilities use automated pouring, hand pouring is still a common method of filling a metalcasting mold.

Hand Pouring 		Investment casting involves dipping a wax pattern in ceramic before melting the wax to create the metalcasting mold.

Investment Casting 		Nobake molding requires pouring self-setting sand over a pattern.

Nobake Molding
This automated pouring ladle is used to fill green sand molds.

Automatic Pouring 		Over the past decade, robotics have become essential to the operation of metalcasting facilities.

Robotics 		Automated vertical green sand molding allows more molds to be produced per hour than previous methods.
