2011 open lecture "Easy casting experience class for parents and children"
~ Production of design plate using molten aluminum ~

On July 24, 2011, an open lecture "Easy casting experience class for parents and children" organized by the Technology Creation Department was held. On the day, 12 people from 6 groups participated. Please see the state of the open lecture day.

  • First, let each person decide the shape of the design plate.
  • Next, cut or scrape the styrofoam to make a model as designed.
  • Embed the completed model in sand to make a mold.
  • When the molten aluminum is poured into the mold, the styrofoam is melted by heat.
  • When the aluminum cools, it hardens to the same shape as the model.
  • Remove sand and trim off excess parts to make shape.
  • Finally, attach the chain and the design plate is complete.
