foundry
A foundry is a factory where metal objects are made by pouring molten metal into molds. The process involves creating a mold of the desired shape, usually from sand or other materials, then heating metal until it melts. The molten metal is poured into the mold and allowed to cool and solidify, forming the final piece. Foundries produce a wide range of metal parts used in industries like automotive, construction, and machinery. The quality of the cast depends on the mold design, metal quality, and casting process. Foundries are essential for manufacturing complex metal components efficiently and precisely.
