Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is an advanced manufacturing process with roots in ancient craftsmanship. This method begins by creating a detailed wax model of the desired component, which is then coated in ceramic to form a mold. Once the wax is melted away, molten metal is poured into the cavity, precisely replicating the model’s intricate details. The process is highly versatile, accommodating a wide range of metals and alloys, and is valued for its ability to produce components with superior dimensional accuracy and smooth surface finishes, requiring minimal post-casting machining.
