What is the difference between

molding and casting?

Molding or Mold making is the act of creating the cavity / form

that carries a negative or reverse impression of an original model.
Molds can be made of a rigid material, such as plaster or plastic
resin or more commonly, a flexible material such as rubber. The
material to use should be chosen considering the material of the
model, the material to be used to make castings, and whether
there are any undercuts.

Casting is the act of pouring liquid material into the cavity of a

mold. After a period of time, this liquid will cure via chemical
reaction or cooling. The solidified part is also known as a
casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete
the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold
setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components
together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay.

Casting will typically involve metal, while molding focuses on

plastics. In both cases, the melted material goes into a die or
mold to create the final form. However, some other key
differences in the process will change the final product. In
molding, the material is injected into a form typically made of
metal.
