Investment casting, also recognized as lost-wax casting, stands as an age-old yet highly effective method in metal formation. Our metalworks employ this technique, which is particularly suitable for crafting small to medium-sized castings. With capabilities extending to steel castings up to 600 lbs and aluminum castings up to 60 lbs, investment casting offers precision and versatility.

The process involves creating a ceramic mold from wax patterns, and after the wax is eliminated, molten steel is poured in, resulting in the desired casting. While it may incur higher unit costs than die casting, the investment casting process excels in shaping intricate designs that might pose challenges for other methods. Additionally, it demands minimal surface finishing and requires minimal machining in specific cases. At our metalworks, we extend investment casting benefits to aluminum and iron, ensuring diverse possibilities for our clientele.

The investment casting process is versatile and lends itself well to producing intricate and finely detailed metal components as opposed to die casting, which some companies lean toward.

Overall, the investment casting process is valued for its ability to produce parts with complex shapes, fine details, and tight tolerances, making it a preferred choice in industries where precision is essential.
