Abstract

Molding sand filled in a space defined by a pattern plate and a flask is pre-compacted before the molding sand is completely pressed. A pre-compacting member is inserted into the molding sand toward the pattern plate, and then is stopped based on a predetermined depth of the pre-compacting member in the molding sand or a predetermined pressure caused by the pre-compacting member in the molding sand.
