Fenico Precision Castings Receives Honorable Mention for Patriotic Artwork


This part is not just a decorative art casting. It’s a new idea for creating art in the investment casting industry. The artwork, entitled Metal Flow of the USA, is a homage to our country and the opportunities it has given us. The free form nature of this artwork represents the freedom our country has given to us and demonstrates how we can connect and bond as one united country.


What makes this artwork unique is that it cannot be reproduced with the same shape. Each pour results in a unique shape due to the process employed. To create this casting, a frame was mapped out with sand, stucco and slurry on the foundry floor and left overnight to dry. The next morning, metal is poured into the frame mold, resulting in a unique art casting suitable for wall display.
