Investment Casting
Investment casting uses a wax pattern and ceramic shell to produce small, intricate, high-precision near-net parts. Huaxiao delivers investment casting as part of our ISO 9001:2015 certified Casting capabilities — from rapid prototyping to high-volume production, with full dimensional inspection and material certification on every order.
What Is Investment Casting?
Investment Casting is a specialized capability within our Casting service. Investment casting uses a wax pattern and ceramic shell to produce small, intricate, high-precision near-net parts. It is chosen when parts demand the specific combination of geometry, tolerance, material and volume that this process delivers best. Our engineers select and fine-tune the exact parameters for your application to balance performance, lead time and cost.
