WIDE SELECTION OF ALLOYS (click here)
Over 90 alloys are currently poured in alloy steel, tool steel, stainless steel, cobalt base, nickel base, copper base and aluminum.

EXTREME FREEDOM OF PART DESIGN

THIN WALLS
Wall thickness, depending on alloy and part configuration, can be cast as thin as .025".

EXCELLENT SURFACE FINISH
Depending on the selected alloy, finishes of 100 micro or better are typical.

NEAR NET SHAPE -

REDUCED MACHINING REQUIRED
Castings can be produced with minimal machining stock at a substantial savings over parts produced from competing processes.

CLOSE TOLERANCES (click here)
Standard tolerances are ±.005" per inch, 1/2 of Standard is possible (see Design and Data Tolerances).

PROVEN DESIGN CAPABILITY
Investment Castings can be used to provide other processes such as die castings and powdered metal.

EXCELLENT CASTING INTEGRITY
Investment Castings are capable of providing
superior integrity compared to other casting processes

PROTOTYPES (click here)
Prototypes generated from CAD File to Casting generally within 8 working days.

MEET STRINGENT
QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
ISO 9001: 2000 Certified

SHORT LEAD TIME
INEXPENSIVE TOOLING
Tooling costs are lower than many competing processes.

LONG TOOLING LIFE
Depending upon the number of cavities and the complexity of the mold, 30,000 to over 250,000 cycles can be expected with only minimal regular maintenance.

ECONOMICAL LOW AND
HIGH VOLUME PROCESS
Low volume production can be accomplished with relatively simple, single cavity tools while high volume production requirements can be met with fully automated multiple cavity molds.

LOWER MATERIAL COST
Investment Castings do not require the draft allowances of competing processes and require only minimal stock machined areas.
