Investment Casting (also known as Lost Wax Casting) is a precision near net shape casting methodology.The advantages of investment casting process include:
1. Excellent surface finish
2. High dimensional accuracy
3. Complex, detailed and intricate parts can be cast
4. Wide range of metals can be cast
5. No flash or parting lines
6. Elimination or reduction of downstream operations such as machining significantly reducing total cost.
We design and manufacture Investment Casting tools (known as Dies) from customer supplied drawings and solid models.
The dies are used to form the wax patterns that will form the mould cavity to cast into.
All our tooling is water cooled and CNC machined from Aluminium to give excellent surface finish and longer tool life.
