Reinventing Foundry in a Box for the 21st Century

Jay Sim

Foundry in a Box is an education and outreach kit created by the American Foundry Society. However, it has not been updated in over 25 years and students still use hot molten tin to create simple sand molds. The purpose of this project is to develop an analogous fluid to molten metal by seeing how fluid flows inside a simple mold when the density and viscosity are varied.
