Bringing imaginations to life
Our investment casting process involves a manufacturing process in which a wax pattern is coated with a refractory ceramic material. Once the casting material is dry and hardened, the wax is melted out, leaving an internal cavity shaped according to the final product’s geometry.
Lost wax casting is a technique used by investment casting manufacturers to create precise metal parts. In this investment casting method, a wax model is coated with a hard ceramic material. After the ceramic hardens, the wax is melted away, leaving a mold. Molten metal is then poured into this mold, forming the final part. This casting process is known for producing detailed and accurate metal casting components.
Size RangeAlthough, mostly the lost wax method is done for small products, it can produce castings weighing from tens to thousands of pounds.
Versatile And IntricacyIt delivers consistent and repetitive close tolerances paired with intricate passages and contours. These configurations often births fine net-shape or near-net-shape casts.
Dimensional AccuracyThe preciseness of the parts’ dimensional requirements are well replicated in this technique.
As a Tried and Tested Technique, the Investment Casting Process Offers Various Advantages for Design Engineers
The investment casting process starts with creating a wax model, which is then coated with ceramic. Investment casting manufacturers use the lost wax casting method, or lost wax technique, to melt the wax away and leave behind a precise mold. This mold is filled with molten metal to produce detailed and accurate castings.
