Small,
intricate, or hard-to-machine shapes can be produced much more
efficiently with the investment casting process. By using a
wax impression mold, elaborate and expensive tooling (such as
multiple or progressive dies) can be avoided when producing
parts with unusual designs or with complex internal configurations.
Often several machined parts may be combined into one casting,
eliminating or greatly reducing other labor intensive operations
such as welding, assembly, and finishing work (reducing cost
up to 80%!).
Because each part is formed from the same master mold, each
finished part is virtually identical. For many parts, you can
achieve higher quality, more detail, greater consistency and
better repeatability than traditional metal forming methods.
Investment castings are ideally suited for both long and short
runs. Using our wax printer with a supplied CAD file, we can
supply prototype parts in one to two weeks. The prototype parts
can be used for product testing before a master mold is made.
Prototype parts can also be used when just a few parts are needed
for designing new sample equipment.
- Design freedom
- Dimension accuracy
- Greatly reduced machining
- Simplified finishing operations
- Reduced final cost
