Casting describes the process of pouring a material in liquid form into a mould - e.g.

Metal Casting - Sand Casting, Die Casting and Lost Foam or Investment Casting
Resin Casting - such as using clear polyester resin to encapsulate objects
Plaster Casting - to make 3D copies of animal tracks for example
Cast Concrete - used to make components for the construction industry for example

It is possible to consider that almost any object can be made by either:

Reforming Materials - e.g. by Casting, Thermo-forming, Injection Moulding, Forging, Laminating
Addition or Fabrication - e.g using Wood Joints, Adhesives, Fixings and Fastenings, Welding
Subtraction - or material removal by: Cutting, Carving, Machining
