If there is a vacuum in the mold below and the gold is introduced with the weight of the atmosphere (or some fraction of it) above than the gold is being forced into the mold, ie is under pressure. | |

Here's a pretty nice summary of both processes I happened on: gemsociety.org/article/lost-wax-casting | |
