SAND Casting
ADVANTAGES FOR DEMANDING
ALUMINIUM COMPONENTS
Sand casting provides unique benefits that distinguish it from other casting methods, making it the preferred choice for complex components. The tools used in pattern and mold making are significantly more cost-effective and quickly ready for use compared to other processes, enabling projects to be realized in the shortest possible time and without high initial investments.
Particularly for complex geometries and small to medium production runs, sand casting fully demonstrates its strengths.

The Sand
Casting Process
In the sand casting process, we work with a so-called “lost mold”: the mold is created anew from sand for each casting. This provides significant advantages for core-intensive and geometrically complex designs.
Unlike reusable metallic dies, this technique allows for high flexibility and exceptional detail accuracy.
Even intricate structures and highly complex internal cavities can be produced in a single casting step.
Our production combines advanced technology with proven traditional methods to meet every customer requirement:
- Automated Molding Line: For high volumes and series production, we rely on state-of-the-art molding lines. These ensure fast and precise mold creation and deliver consistently high quality for large production quantities.
- Machine Molding: Using our machine molding systems, components can be manufactured efficiently and economically. This technology combines precision with speed and is ideal for small and medium production runs.
- Hand Molding: For single pieces, prototypes, or particularly complex components, we use our hand-molding process. This method allows for maximum flexibility and accuracy – perfect for highly customized solutions.
Why Sand Casting?
- Versatility: Sand casting is suitable for a wide variety of production volumes—from high-volume series to single-piece production or prototypes.
- Cost Efficiency: The relatively inexpensive molding tools make production highly economical and particularly attractive for small and medium quantities.
- Design Freedom: The use of sand molds enables high precision and exceptional flexibility, allowing even unusual or highly complex component designs to be implemented with ease.
- Material Diversity Through Composite Casting: Grohmann is a leader in composite casting, where aluminum is combined with other metals. This opens up new possibilities in functionality and application areas.
Sand Casting vs. other Processes
Compared to gravity die casting or die casting, which rely on reusable molds, sand casting offers a clear advantage for individualized and complex parts.
It is particularly well-suited for core-intensive and demanding components and offers tremendous design freedom thanks to the “lost mold” approach.
The ability to combine aluminum with other metals further increases flexibility and uniqueness in sand casting applications.
