What is precision lost wax investment casting?
Precision lost wax investment casting, is one of the most popular casting techniques for manufacturers. It produces precise and very intricate components with high accuracy and tight tolerances. Precision lost wax investment casting yields an excellent as-cast surface finish and a near-net shape, minimising secondary machining and material waste.
Why Precision Investment Casting?
Precision casting offers several advantages over other manufacturing processes. For instance, the process eliminates the material wastage challenge common in subtractive manufacturing technologies like CNC machining, allowing you to reduce manufacturing costs. It also reduces the long production time common in metal fabrication processes like welding.
In addition, precision casting allows you to fabricate complex parts that might be challenging to create using CNC machines. So, suppose you're looking to fabricate complex internal passages in a metal part, curved vanes of an impeller, or cooling channels in complex devices with great surface finishes. In that case, you must consider using precision investment casting.
Precision forging also allows you to create complex shapes, like the precision investment casting process. However, because the forging process requires specially designed tool dies, the associated tooling costs are higher than in precision casting. Additionally, precision casting offers greater design freedom, allowing you to produce larger and more complex geometries than other manufacturing technologies.
