Investment Casting Process
our ‘investment casting process’ is meticulously engineered to produce highly precise and complex components.We specialize in transforming various alloys into intricately detailed parts with outstanding accuracy and surface finish, making us a leader in the investment casting industry.
Precision Casting Process
At Precisionvast, we leverage the centuries-old technology of investment casting, renowned for producing high-precision parts with minimal surface defects. Our process involves creating a wax model, encasing it in a ceramic shell, melting the wax to form a cavity, and then pouring molten metal into this cavity. Once the metal solidifies, the ceramic shell is removed, revealing a finished part requiring minimal post-processing. In our foundry, we utilize China’s most advanced technology for investment casting to produce top-tier castings in various sizes and shapes. Capable of working with a full range of metal alloys, we customize castings to your material specifications, even accommodating combinations of materials. To ensure the highest quality, each investment casting process undergoes rigorous quality control.

Advantages of Investment casting process
At Precisionvast, we recognize the manifold advantages of the investment casting process, making it a preferred choice in our manufacturing operations.
Our investment casting process excels in producing parts with intricate details and high precision. This method allows us to create complex geometries, undercuts, and intricate shapes with outstanding dimensional accuracy, minimizing the need for secondary processing.
Parts produced through investment casting have a smoother surface finish compared to other casting methods. This superior finish reduces the need for additional surface treatments or fine machining, saving costs and production time.
We work with a wide array of metals and alloys, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and bronze. This versatility ensures the selection of the most suitable material for specific properties like heat resistance, strength, or corrosion resistance.
Investment casting is particularly cost-effective for small to medium production runs, involving fewer steps and less waste compared to other methods. While initial mold costs can be high, they are often offset by lower per-unit costs during production runs.
Known for producing near-net-shape parts, our investment casting process significantly reduces the need for additional machining or finishing, especially beneficial for parts with complex geometries or made from hard-to-machine materials.
Our investment casting process stands out as a versatile and efficient manufacturing technique, offering detailed, precise parts and a broad range of material choices, making it a viable option for various manufacturing scenarios.
