A method for casting articles from metal foam includes a molten metal bath and a foam forming means. The foam is drawn into a ladle, within a heated chamber, which transports a foam sample to a mould. The ladle deposits the foam sample into the mould and the mould is closed. Once cooled and hardened, the formed article is removed. The system of the invention comprises a molten metal bath, a heated foam collecting chamber, a ladle for drawing a sample of the foam and for transporting the sample to a mould. The present invention provides an apparatus for carrying out the method.
