Plaster Mold Casting
Plaster mold casting is used to make limited production parts.
The part to be cast is placed into plaster, which hardens around the part forming a mold. The mold is carefully cut in half and the part inside removed. The two halves of the plaster mold are then reassembled to create a whole piece. Molten metal is poured into the mold. After the metal cools down, the plaster mold is broken and the metal piece is removed, cleaned, and polished.
Cast parts using this technique range in weight from 30g to 7kg. Section thicknesses can be as small as 0.6mm. Copper and magnesium are commonly cast using this process.

Investment Pays Off
Last January, Samantha Richards Couture, an $800 million dollar woman’s fashion designer and merchandiser, spent $400 million on a buyout of Sager Brand Stores, a chain that specializes in selling low-priced clothing in small towns throughout rural North America. The investment took less than a year to pay off. Yesterday, Samantha Richards announced it had nearly doubled its third-quarter profits, over the previous year. The stock market responded by pushing Samantha Richards share prices to their highest in the company’s history.

Subject: Lunch
Dear Cathy,
I am SO sorry, but I have to cancel lunch today. You know I’ve been complaining about the printing company we use at work for several months now. We’re finally trying to get a new printing company, and I have a meeting with them today at noon. We’re hoping to have them start by the end of the month. We have a few big jobs coming up and we’d like to try our new printer out on some smaller jobs first. So this meeting today is very important and will probably take 2 hours. I tried for something later, but noon was the only time I could coordinate with them.
I’m going to get my hair cut at 3:00. If you’d like to meet me at Hair Trends on 4th Ave., we can catch up for a little while, but I need to be back in the office by 4:00.
No need to call, if you decide to meet me at the hair salon, just show up. Otherwise I’ll call you later to reschedule lunch for next week. My treat.
Sorry!!
Amy.
