This tradesperson prepares the cope and drag, sets the cores, and cuts the gating system to ensure molten metal flows correctly. The job requires a deep understanding of sand properties, metal shrinkage, and fluid dynamics. A highly skilled moulder can prevent casting defects before the metal is even poured.
