Casting, as an ancient method, has been used by humans for controlling and shaping metals since ancient times. The application of this art-industry has been carried out according to the needs of each civilization in creating various works, so that this method is among the most important inventions of mankind. The use of casting in the art of metalworking is carried out in various ways, among which casting using ceramic shell molds is the most common type among contemporary artists in the world, while the use of this method in Iran is often reserved for industrial uses because the limitations in art education centers such as inadequate facilities and incomplete technical knowledge have caused artists and metalworking art enthusiasts to pay less attention to it. This research, in response to the question of what capabilities do ceramic shell molds have in creating artistic volumes with the metal casting technique? It seeks to understand more precisely the characteristics of this type of molds, especially in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and the ability to create works with complex details in metal art pieces. The purpose of this research is to investigate and evaluate ceramic shell molds using a practical model in the construction of artistic volumes.
In the results of this research, it can be said that the use of these molds, in addition to more accuracy and details, is also effective in improving the mechanical properties and efficiency of the metal volume. This method has increased the speed of production of complex and delicate parts and has minimized the need for post-processing operations. This research is based on the purpose of the applied type, based on the nature and method of descriptive-analytical research, and based on data analysis, quantitative-qualitative. The data collection method was library and field type by recording the observations and experiences of the authors. In this research, the authors have made a mold and cast it to obtain more objective and accurate results.
