ABSTRACT:
A system for casting a dental model has first and second, hollow molds that are mounted on first and second mounting members. The mounting members have distal ends that extend into respective molds and proximal ends extending away from the molds. The molds are retained on and firmly held by the mounting members so that the molds can not rotate relative to the mounting members. Dental casting material can be poured into the molds and around the distal ends of the mounting members to form base stones in the molds. The mounting members are attached to connector members that extend from proximal ends of the mounting members. The other ends of the mounting members are pivotally connected to each other so that the molds can move between (i) a first position in which the central, horizontal planes of the molds are parallel and spaced apart from each other with the first mold positioned directly above the second mold, and (ii) a second position in which the first and second molds extend in substantially opposite directions away from each other.
