Lost foam casting is a modern casting method. In this method a foam pattern is used to make the cast. This mold is then used to add melted metals. This type of casting method is used in industries like automotive industry, agricultural machinery, in valves and pumps and other industrial components.
This form of casting method was invented by Armand Vaillancourt who was a Canadian sculptor in the 1950s. This type of concept was new during its early years but it gained popularity in the 80s. It was during these times when the automotive industry started using it for manufacturing their intricate parts.
