OEM processing customization

Investment Casting is a pouring process for producing complex components. This method is far superior to forging because it allows for much more precise, complex shapes and is less costly. Moreover, it produces parts in a shorter amount of time compared to other methods.

The process of investment casting relies on a ceramic mold. This mold is turned upside down and heated to 200-375 degrees Fahrenheit. This causes the wax to flow out of the mold, leaving a cavity for the metal to be cast. Once the wax dries, the mold is destroyed, leaving a part that is perfectly fit. Unlike the process of casting in clay, investment casting does not require machining, thereby improving the product quality.

Compared to traditional casting methods, investment casting reduces waste, improves product quality, reduces return rates, and increases the predictability of the supply chain. A major benefit of investment casting is that it is highly customizable. It is a great choice for small-scale manufacturing. The process of investment casting has become an important part of almost all industries, including automobile, aerospace, and automotive industries.
