I cast my models in the same way - I call it 'gravity casting'. It's certainly not 'die casting' as in pressure casting in metal dies.
Here is an image of all of the moulds I made to cast my KGV 'Tri-ang look' model back in 2016.

Having said all of the above, there is a lot of technique involved in getting a successful casting and I have quite a high failure rate. I think the commercial manufacturers use a more sophisticated metal and control it more carefully than me. I also think they might use a type of silicone rubber that I have not got access to.

I am trying to find out if the current casting method used by European producers of pouring molten metal via gravity into a silicone mold has a accepted technical term. Appreciate any help.
