Investment Casting

Investment Casting

Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting or precision casting, is one of the most popular casting techniques for manufacturers. It produces precise and very intricate components with high accuracy and tight tolerances, excellent as-cast surface finish and a near-net shape, minimising secondary machining and material waste.
