Custom investment casting plays an important role in the production of numerous metal parts. It has particular advantages for companies interested in manufacturing precisely engineered, detailed parts with complex surface shapes and patterns.
The production of custom investment castings has undergone some complex innovations in recent years. However, the basic process itself may date back centuries, making it one of the oldest metal component production techniques.
One of the reasons for the widespread use of custom investment castings is the ability to create detailed, ornate metal patterns. While it is typically used to produce small components, the process is also suitable for making large, heavy castings. As a production method, custom investment casting is equally suitable for short- and long-term manufacturing.
Custom investment castings are frequently used in the automotive, marine, military, medical and commercial sectors, as well as in the power generation and aerospace industries. Illustrations of useful part types produced by this process include locking mechanisms, hand tools, pipe fittings, firearm components, weapons, marine components, and turbine blades.
