Investment casting stands out as a superior manufacturing method for most metal components. It combines the design freedom of casting with an accuracy and surface finish that usually belong to machined parts, which is why it remains the route of choice for critical, complex and cost-sensitive components alike.
Dimensional accuracy of approximately +/-0.005" per inch of dimension, achieved directly as cast without a parting line to dress or draft angle to allow for.
Steels, stainless steels, duplex, copper, nickel, iron and cobalt based alloys, all from the same process route and the same tooling.
Tooling costs are modest compared with forging or die casting, and existing tools can usually be modified at low cost when the design changes.
Near net shape parts cut machining hours, tool wear and scrap, so the delivered cost per finished component falls and margins improve.
Fine detail, logos, lettering, thin sections and complex internal passages are reproduced faithfully using soluble wax or ceramic coring.
Very little metal is lost in the process, which matters most on expensive and sensitive materials such as stainless steels, nickel alloys and cobalt alloys.
Because every wax pattern comes from a single tool, dimensional accuracy stays consistent from part to part and from year to year.
Rapid tooling, sampling and approval cycles get new components from drawing to first-off casting quickly, then into stable series production.
We manage the manufacture and storage of your tooling, giving a high return on investment and a lasting price advantage on repeat orders.
Against sand casting you gain accuracy and surface finish. Against machining from bar you save material and cycle time. Against fabrication you replace several welded pieces with one sound casting.
Send us the part you currently fabricate or machine. We will assess casting feasibility, suggest design changes that reduce cost, and quote the tooling and piece price.
