How to select Co2 (Sodium silicate) Mold material in INSPIRE CAST

venomousDNA · 2025-05-11T16:47:51+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I was choosing the mould material that I wanted, which is the Co2 mould, also called a Sodium silicate mould.

And I don't see this type of mould in the mould selection bar, so if someone can help me find the Co2 mould type

i personally think that it would be as Silica sand. If so please explain why so if it is same for core material too.

Hi @venomousDNA,

Inspire Cast does not have specific sodium silicate mold. However, the silica sand is the closest one that you can select as silica sand is a key component of both. If you need specific properties then modify the Silica sand material to your sodium silicate properties.
