Custom Investment casting delivers highly precise metal parts holding tight tolerances down to ±0.005 in., even on intricate shapes.
Thin walls, complex contours and internal features are possible thanks to the "lost wax" molding process.
Investment cast parts have an excellent surface finish and do not require secondary machining or polishing.
Nearly any ferrous or non-ferrous alloy, including exotic alloys, can be used for investment casting.
The reusable ceramic mold process ensures excellent consistency and repeatability.
Our investment casting delivers high precision metal components with your choice of surface finishes like as-cast, painted, plated, polished, coated and more to meet application requirements.
| Surface Finish | Description | Applications |
| Mirror Finish | Achieves a highly reflective and smooth surface. | Jewelry, decorative items. |
| Satin Finish | Creates a semi-reflective, textured surface. | Architectural components. |
| Matte Finish | Provides a non-reflective, textured surface. | Functional and industrial parts. |
| Brushed Finish | Creates directional lines with a textured appearance. | Hardware, consumer goods. |
| Polished Finish | Buffs the surface to a high-gloss shine. | Decorative and functional parts. |
| Sandblasted Finish | Uses abrasive particles for a uniform matte texture. | Enhances coating adhesion. |
| Anodized Finish | Creates a protective oxide layer for corrosion resistance. | Aerospace, medical. |
| Plated Finish | Adds a layer of metal for aesthetic and functional purposes. | Decorative and industrial parts. |

Investment Casting vs. Die Casting: Investment casting uses wax patterns and ceramic molds for intricate shapes and small quantities. Die casting employs reusable molds and molten metal for higher production rates.
Advantage of Investment Casting: Precision and intricate designs are achievable, making it suitable for complex parts with fine details and minimal post-processing.
Difference between Lost-Wax Casting and Investment Casting: Lost-wax casting is the historical term, while investment casting emphasizes the use of ceramic molds. Both refer to the same process of creating intricate metal parts through wax patterns and molds.
