Investment casting: characteristics and benefits

From prototype to serial production: thanks to its remarkable characteristics, investment casting offers numerous benefits. The process guarantees absolute freedom of shape and design, a high surface quality, low surface roughness values and is suited for both small and large production series.

The advantages of investment casting:

• Large choice of materials, virtually every steel alloy is possible
• Great freedom of shape and design
• High dimensional accuracy and exact tolerances
• Contour definition
• High-quality surface finish and low surface roughness values
• Flexible quantities, suitable for small and large production series
• Fabrication of ready-to-install castings
• Virtually no mechanical finishing necessary
• Short lead times and just-in-time delivery possible
