A cast forms a mold by creating a negative impression of an object, usually made from a material like plaster, silicone, or metal. The process begins by surrounding the object with the mold material, allowing it to harden and capture the object's details. Once the mold is set, the original object is removed, leaving a cavity that can be filled with a casting material, such as resin or liquid metal, to create a replica. This method is widely used in art, manufacturing, and prototyping.

a mold. this is for you Brandon
What is the definition of the word mold an cast?
A mold is a form into which molten metal is poured. When the metal hardens, it takes the shape of the mold. This process is called casting.

Mold cast petroleum
What is the differnce between a cast and a mold?
A MOLD is used to make a cast.
How is the mold like the cast?
Mold is like cast in being a type of fossil .
How is fossils mold different from a fossil cast?

What are casts and mold?
a mold is an impression of an organism. a cast is a mold filled with sediment
What is a mold and cast fossil?
A mold and cast fossil is and exact stone replica of an organism but it is formed like this. The first layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. then a new layer of sediment fills in the mold and hardens. That is the cast.
What are cast fossils?
One form of fossil forms when an organism dies and its body is covered by layers of sediment. As time passes, the organism itself, particularly when composed primarily of softer materials, is eroded and carried away, leaving a negative imprint of its body. This type of fossil is called a mold. A cast fossil forms when a mold fossil is filled with some form of mineral, usually through the seepage of water depositing the minerals within the mold. In time, the mold is filled and the materials deposited harden, creating a replica of the original fossil. This is called a cast fossil.
Can you use a glass mold when casting clear polypropylene resin or will it bond with the glass?
You do not want to use a glass mold when casting resin. Resin is a two-part compound that, when mixed in proper proportions, becomes completely hard when dry. When casting resin, you want to use a flexible mold, such as a silicone mold, to cast it. Once the resin has hardened, you can flex a silicone or rubber mold, stretching and bending it to allow air between the mold and the shape, which allows the mold to release the resin form. The mold will revert back to its original state after the form has been released. A glass mold has no flexibility. If you cast resin in a glass mold, the resin will harden exactly the size of the cavity in your glass mold. While it will not bond to the glass, the result is the same. Once the resin is hard, there will be no way for air to come between the resin form and the glass mold. The resin will essentially be vacuum-sealed in place. If you have a more complex form, such as a rose shape, the resin will be stuck in place permanently. A more simple shape, such as a square, might release over time. If you set the mold upside-down, a combination of gravity, and the effects of temperature and humidity on the glass and resin, may release the resin after many weeks or months. If you have already cast your resin into the glass mold, your only option will be to wait to see if the cast will eventually release, or carefully break the glass mold from around the resin.
How are mold and cast related?
The Cast is the fossil of the shell etc itself. The Mould is the hollow left in the surrounding rock if the fossil is removed artificially or by some natural event such as differential dissolution or mass-movement.
Can a fossil be a mold cast?
no
