The invention discloses a lost foam casting method in the technical field of lost foam casting. The method comprises the following steps: lost foam drawing, mold manufacturing, molding sand molding, jolt ramming, sealing and vacuumizing treatment, formwork elimination, casting mold pouring, waste gas purification treatment, casting post-treatment and molding sand recovery. After a formwork is manufactured, the formwork in a sand mold is heated, the heating lasts for a period of time, the formwork is heated and converted from solid into liquid, formwork liquefying is realized, and the liquefied formwork is discharged from the sand mold, so that the replacement of the formwork is effectively realized, a workpiece cavity is conveniently and quickly formed, and a casting workpiece is conveniently formed by subsequently pouring liquid metal. The heating temperature of the sand mold is increased for a period of time, so that residual liquid formwork raw materials are converted into gas, clean and rapid removal of the formwork materials is achieved, the casting quality of castings can be guaranteed, waste gas can be collected, the mold sand can be recycled and reused, the production cost is reduced, energy consumption is reduced, and the environment friendliness is high.
