The Investment Casting Process

Sample room

The investment casting process involves creating a wax pattern and layering it with sand and slurry until a strong shell envelopes the model. After melting out the wax, molten steel such as stainless steel or cobalt will be poured into the mold, creating a perfect duplicate of the original wax pattern. Compared to machining a part, investment casting can economically offer undercuts, high definition, complex detail and a smooth surface finish.

Investment casting is most suitable for small parts at large volumes. Most often, investment casting is the only way a part can be economically manufactured with low tooling costs and less material waste. With less waste, it is also better for the environment. If your metal component is small to medium in size and weight, consider investment casting over other processes such as sand casting or die casting.

The investment casting process allows for precision tolerances of 0.005 in/in for parts with complex geometry. For surface finishes, the standard is 120 rms. Our current size capabilities are up to 18 inches and 50 pounds.

If you require prototypes before going into production, we offer rapid prototype services using 3D printing technology and CAD software. These prototypes can be made in just a few days.
