The foundry is fully equipped
for large-scale aluminum, bronze and iron casting.
An induction furnace will provide iron and stainless
steel casting opportunities. The mold-making
systems used in the foundry are: traditional
plaster investment, resin bonded sand and ceramic
shell.
The foundry facility is a newly renovated
stand-alone-building devoted to cast metals.
This building houses two gas fired 200 lb.
bronze and aluminum furnaces and one VIP Inducto-Therm
High Temp. Tilt Furnace for casting iron and
stainless steel. This concentration area is
the metal half of the National Casting Center

and polishing options possible for marble and
granite stone sculpture. Also, combinations
