Every project is unique
Flexible and reliable
Investment casting, or lost wax casting, is valued for its ability to produce components with accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity in a variety of metals and high-performance alloys.
It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with other casting methods. Initial tooling-cost is lower than other manufacturing methods and costly machining operations can often be eliminated.
Industry sectors:
Hydraulic, oleo-dynamics, nautical, home appliances, furniture, design.
Products:
Hinges, brakes and clutches, components for doors and windows, handles, components for furniture.
Materials:
Stainless steel, carbon steel and other metal alloys.
Design freedom
Advantages of Investment Casting:
- Possibility of producing complex shapes: with undercuts, closed volumes, geometries without demoulding
- Dimensional tolerances
- Good surface finish
- High definition of details.
Contained costs of tooling
More advantages of Investment Casting:
- Short realisation times
- High mechanical features
- Repeatability of the process conditions and production results
- Lower tooling cost compared to other casting methods
