Mineral casting and the geometry of the products

A significant advantage of mineral casting is that the most geometrically complicated structures/ bases can be manufactured without the need for further processes. This necessitates an accurate tool (mould), which can usually be amortized over a short time period. Threaded inserts, mounting plates, spindle attachments etc. are pre-cast as moulded-in parts and provided for in the design phase of the mould, thus removing the need for any complex, cost-intensive finishing or machining. This of course, means shorter turn-around times, which plays an increasing role in modern times.
