Your comparison to inject molding is correct. The press is used to hold the die mold halves together. I enjoyed this video that explained the process https://yo

- jameshart 4y agoI’m confused why the machine needs to apply a ‘pressing’ force to hold the dies together. Once the die is closed, can’t you just slide rigid clamps into place to hold it in position?
- mardifoufs 4y agoI don't think the metal is fully molten. That's why you need the huge pressures to bring it to shape
- londons_explore 4y agoI don't understand this either. The mould could have simple locking pins that lock it closed for the actual casting operation, and then unlock to remove the part.
