Abstract

During the study regarding the obtaining of artworks using light fusible models it has been highlighted the possibility of dividing the process of castingmolding in simple, separate operations, whose execution becomes accessible even to people with no high qualification in the field.
An important realization during the study is represented using the dental molding- packaging mass, which has ensured the obtaining of the smoothness of the surfaces and the clarity of form’s configurations.
Designing the casting network has been the main preoccupation, in order to ensure the complete action of emptying the wax from the mould and filling it correctly with metal.
A special attention has been granted to cleaning and finishing the surface of the sculpture, this operation ensuring the texture of the future artwork.
