A commendable film. Adequate detail of most of the 'sand' casting techniques used in industry until recently. Missing only is the direct 3D printed sand mould. This was a rewarding half hour. Commentary was informative and not noisy shouting and repetition for attention deficit children.

Explains a lot about how automotive plants can produce so many vehicles. An older 1960s foundry here closed several years ago but it was a good thing even though jobs were lost. Working there was almost all manual and the place dusty, dimly lit and workers literally slaved under threat from management. Rising electricity costs shut the plant. In two years their electricity bill doubled!

I don't know for sure what town this plant is but I was in Australia back in 97 and spent the night in a small town that was literally on top of the iron ore mine for the iron mill at the top of a large hill above the town. I just can't remember the name of the town grrrrr lol but it was kinda weird and cool at the same time to feel the rumble under your feet when they were blasting in the mine.

I don't understand, why he says, that "8t. of metal for risers" is not wasted, when actually it is wasted? Energy requirements for them to be melted again is way more higher than cost of ore itself.

@@Flederratte Yes it's definitely a vent as the expanding gases inside the core would cause porosity in the casting if the vent was not there but I'm unclear as to why it has a zig zag path.
