Abstract
The present invention is a casting machine for casting parts in a mold out of a metal using a metal feedstock. The machine feeds solid metal feedstock into a processing cylinder formed in a thermally conductive block and a heater elevates the temperature of the feedstock as it passes along the said processing cylinder first and second ends, the first end of the processing cylinder being configured to receive. The feedstock becomes more liquid and is transferred to an injector cylinder formed in the thermally conductive block adjacent the processing cylinder. The injector cylinder has a shooting pot coupled to the second end of the processing cylinder by a passage configured to permit feedstock to pass from the processing cylinder into the shooting pot from where is it injected into a mold.
