What happens here
Workers place the prepared sand cores into large steel mold boxes. These boxes contain black sand mixed with clay and water, which holds the shape of the external features of the part. The cores are carefully positioned to create the internal cavities. Afterward, the top and bottom halves of the molds are brought together, forming a complete mold ready for casting.
Goal: Assemble the molds by placing sand cores and closing the mold halves.
