A casting system for casting an object, the system comprises a mold powder provision system, a mold binder dispensing system, a mold powder removal system, and a molten metal processing system. The casting system is configured to additively produce multiple production layers in a build unit, one currently-produced production layer after the other. For each currently-produced production layer, the mold powder provision system is configured to provide one or more current mold powder layers; the mold binder dispensing system is configured to form one or more current metal-facing zones of the mold regions within each of the one or more current mold powder layers by selectively dispending one or more binders that bond some mold powder particles of the current mold powder layer; the mold powder removal system is configured to remove mold powder particles located within a certain area of the current mold powder layers, the certain area is defined by the current metal facing zones of the mold regions; and the molten metal processing system is configured to form one or more current object regions of the currently-produced production layer by providing molten metal to the certain area.
