There are many advantages of gravity casting over die casting and as a die caster I was hoping I could share a few of those advantages. Feel free to add additional advantages you know also.

Gravity casting does not require a large machine to inject the metal.

Gravity casting start up cost is much less than die casting.

Re:Gravity Casting advantages 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
i think that gravity casting also allows for experimentation.

die casting is great but the tooling and equipment can be prohibitive.

for production yes... die cast

but i think for most artist and hobbyist die casting may be out of reach.

thanks for the info kineticdc

good luck casting,

Gravity casting lends itself to more material types

You can do undercuts with lost wax or foam.

For the inverse, look at this vid on contra gravity casting !
(You got to let it run a bit before they show it.)
