Investment Casting Process

Dating back thousands and thousands of years, investment casting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes in human history. A ceramic mold is created by using a wax prototype of the finished product. After 'investing' of surrounding the wax prototype with a ceramic slurry, the mold is put into an oven where the wax is melted, leaving a mold for the final product. Molten metal is then poured into the ceramic mold. Once it is cooled, the ceramic mold is broken open, revealing the cast product. This process allows for intricate geometric patterns.

Investment casting requires: a metal die, was, ceramic slurry, furnace, molten metal, and any machines needed for the finishing and polishing process. The process of investment casting includes:

1. Prototype creation
2. Mold creation
3. Pouring
4. Cooling
5. Casting removal
6. Finishing
