Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Foundry Mold and Coremakers

Foundry mold and coremakers are workers who create molds and cores that are used to shape molten metal in the casting process. These professionals typically work in foundries, which are facilities that produce metal castings.

It is unlikely that foundry mold and coremakers would be directly involved in the healthcare industry. However, the products and components that they produce may be used in the healthcare field, such as in the manufacturing of medical equipment or devices.

Foundry mold and coremakers use a variety of materials and techniques to create molds and cores, including sand, clay, and wax. They may use manual or computer-controlled equipment to create and finish the molds and cores, and may also be responsible for maintaining and repairing equipment. In addition, foundry mold and coremakers may be responsible for quality control checks to ensure that the molds and cores meet specific standards and specifications.
