Investment casting is process also known as lost-wax casting. This method allows the production of highly intricate components with accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity in a variety of metals and high-performance alloys with no flash or parting lines. It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with die casting, yet like that process, it requires little surface finishing. Read more about investment casting.

There are a variety of types of sand casting, but the basic principle requires a mould to be formed from a sand mixture with a cavity of the desired shape into which molten metal is poured. Sand casting is a relatively labour intensive process and is suitable for larger castings and as a result, dimensional tolerances are not as tight. Read more about sand casting. |
