Lost Wax Foundry Castings (also known as Investment Casting) is an advanced metal casting process that produces high-precision, complex metal components by creating a wax pattern, building a ceramic shell around it, then melting out the wax and pouring molten metal into the resulting cavity. This method delivers excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and intricate detail capability unmatched by many other casting processes.
1. Higher Quality Lost Wax Foundry Castings
2. Shorter Production Cycle
3. More Types of Surface Treatment
4. More Cost-saving Freight Routes
5. More Comprehensive Service.

Lost wax casting allows for the accurate replication of CAD designs and complex geometries with tight dimensional tolerances and minimal post-machining requirements.
The ceramic shell captures fine details and produces a smooth surface finish, often reducing or eliminating the need for additional finishing steps compared to traditional casting methods.
This process is ideal for components with internal cavities, thin walls, undercuts, and complex features that are difficult for other casting techniques to achieve.
Lost wax castings can be produced in a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, iron, bronze, aluminum, and other speciality alloys to match various application needs.
The wax used in the process can often be reused, and the near-net shape castings reduce machining waste, making it a resource-efficient and cost-effective solution for precision parts.
Lost wax foundry castings are widely used in industries where precision and metallurgy matter, including:
Automotive & Transportation Parts — gears, housings, brackets
Industrial Machinery Components — valves, pump parts, fittings
Aerospace & Defense — precision components with critical tolerances
Energy & Power Systems — turbine parts, seals, couplings
Medical & Equipment Parts — structural components requiring high accuracy
Custom OEM Machined Castings tailored to specific engineering designs
Precision Manufacturing — tailored to your drawings and design requirements.
Broad Material Range — from standard steels to high-performance alloys.
High Quality & Reliability — strict control from casting to inspection.
Flexible Production & Volume Capability — small prototypes to full production.
Global Supply & Logistics Support for seamless delivery.
