Foundry

A foundry is like a big room where grown-ups make things out of melted metal. It's like a giant kitchen where they use a special oven, called a furnace, to heat up metal until it becomes liquid. Once the metal is melted, it can be poured into molds made of sand or other materials. The molds are usually shaped like the thing they want to make, like a toy car or even parts of a big machine. After the liquid metal is poured into the mold, it cools down and becomes solid again. Then people use special tools to take it out of the mold and make sure it's the right shape and size. Sometimes they even paint or polish it to make it look nicer. And that's how a foundry makes things out of melted metal!
