Depends a bit on what has been cast. A lump of gold or iron is an ingot, but if cast into a specific shape (like a model car) it would be a casting (not usually gold though!)
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.

That in which metal is cast; a mold., A bar or wedge of steel, gold, or other malleable metal, cast in a mold; a mass of unwrought cast metal.
A casting is a piece of metal formed by pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. Castings are commonly used in manufacturing to produce complex shapes and components.

To make a mold for metal casting, you can use a material like sand or plaster to create a negative impression of the object you want to cast. Once the mold is made, you can pour molten metal into it and let it cool and solidify. After that, you can remove the mold to reveal the metal casting.
Lost wax casting. You make something out of wax, jewelry or something similar and attach one or more strips that will act like tubes when the wax is melted out of the mold. You put the piece in a metal container of the right size and pour plaster around it. After the plaster sets, you heat it so that the wax will run out. After this, you melt metal, gold or silver and pour it in the mold or there is a centrifugal caster that forces the molten metal into the mold and gives a better casting. With the mold hot from melting the wax out and the hot metal, you put it in water and the plaster blow off of the piece.

To make a metal mold for casting objects, you can start by creating a pattern of the object you want to cast using materials like wood or wax. Then, create a mold box around the pattern and pour in a molding material like sand or plaster. Once the mold is set, remove the pattern to leave a cavity in the mold. Finally, melt and pour molten metal into the mold cavity to create your cast object.
Cast iron is a hard and brittle iron that is formed into a particular shape by pouring the liquid metal into a mold.
A mass of metal cast into a mould is called either an ingot mould or a cold mould. the one that is ready for recasting is usually the ingot mould. A cold mould is one that has been cast on design that maintains its mould.
To create DIY metal casting molds at home, you can use materials like sand, clay, or plaster to make a mold of the object you want to cast. Once the mold is ready, you can melt metal in a furnace or with a torch and pour it into the mold. Allow the metal to cool and solidify before removing it from the mold.
