Sand casting is the manufacturing of casts in sand moulds. A difference is frequently made between the types of binding used in the mould sand mixture, e.g. | Wet cast (green sand moulds with shape-orientated water content), surface dried (flamed) sand moulds
|  | Dry cast (dried sand moulds) cement sand moulds, core moulds, chemically bound sand moulds, through vacuum extraction rigidified sand moulds and mask moulds. | |
