Castings
Syntholine supply some of the best castings, it is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mould, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mould to complete the process. Casting made out of metals are often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods.

Investment Castings
Investment casting is regarded as a precision casting process to fabricate near-net-shaped metal parts from almost any alloy. Although its history lies to a great extent in the production of art, the most common use of investment casting in more recent history has been the production of components requiring complex, often thin-wall castings. Casting is often used for creating one or more copies of an original piece of sculptural (three-dimensional) artwork. It is also used extensively in the automobile manufacture industry, such as the casting of engine blocks or cylinder heads, or vacuum-forming of plastics and in the lost core process.
Sand Castings
Sand Casting is the process of production of objects by pouring molten material in to a cavity called a mold which is the negative of the object, and allowing it to cool and solidify. Sand casting is a means of producing rough metal castings that are further refined by any or all of hammer peening, shot peening, polishing, forging, plating, rough grinding, machine grinding or machining.
