During Open Foundry, we allow students to create a model out of Styrofoam. Once created, these models are packed with sand and arranged in custom molds. Next, we bring them over to the pouring floor to arrange the molds so they can be easily poured. After that, the aluminum is taken out of the furnace and poured into each mold, burning away the foam and leaving an aluminum casting. Finally after cooling to a safe temperature, the molds are broken and the castings are removed.Check the events page for date about Open Foundry and our other upcoming events!
