Hello everyone,

I’m learning about different casting methods and wanted to ask about the disadvantages of sand casting. While I understand that sand casting is popular due to its low cost and versatility, I’m curious about its drawbacks.

Specifically, what are the common issues or limitations when using sand casting for manufacturing parts? How do the disadvantages of sand casting affect the quality, precision, or production speed compared to other methods? Any insights or examples of problems encountered in practical applications would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
