Lost Wax Casting

Lost Wax Casting

Investment casting - using the lost wax casting technique - is one of the oldest casting methods known and examples of its uses in producing jewellery and statues can be traced back several thousand years. With its roots in ancient Mesopatamia and Egypt, its commercial life began during World War II when military demands were overtaxing the machine tool industry.

Investment casting converts molten metal in a single operation to precision engineered components with minimum wastage of material, energy and subsequent machining.
