Clean, intricate designs with tight tolerances and fast manufacturing time without machining. Complex metal castings poured from more than 100 metals and alloys require no welding, assembling or finishing work. Precision casting drives multiple parts to market faster with the lost wax method of investment castings.

Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a metal forming process that involves creating a wax pattern and then coating it with a ceramic material to create a mold. The wax is then melted out, leaving a hollow cavity in the shape of the desired part. Molten metal is then poured into the cavity to create the final product.
