Abstract：
With the rapid development of modern industry, the traditional casting process has been unable to fully meet the
high precision, high performance and other requirements of casting products. The lost foam casting process, as an
innovative technology, has been widely studied and applied. In this paper, the current research status of the lost foam
casting process under vacuum and low pressure, vibration lost foam casting, expendable pattern shell casting, and
simulation technology of the filling and solidification process of lost mold casting are summarized. Moreover, the future
development of lost mold casting is proposed.
