Casting requires that you apply a substance to a solid object in order to duplicate a shape. =) hi! Molding requires that you manipulate a substance so that you are literally creating a shape

Molds are formed as empty spaces left in a rock when the soft parts of the organism decay and the hard parts are dissolved by chemicals. The mold takes the same shape as the organism.

Cast, also known as filled-in molds, are formed when the mold is filled in another material forming a cast that has the same shape as the original organism.

What is the difference between cast car rims and forged ones?

Forged car rims are made with a lot heat and a lot of pressure. they are basically pressed into a mold and thus forged rims are about 300% stronger then cast. Also less metal can be used for forged so the rim is lighter. Cast rims are either poured into a mold and let cooled or the molten liquid is vaccumed into a mold, this allows for less air bubbles around the edges. So forged rims are lighter and stronger then cast rims.
