Lost wax casting is the most accurate and reliable method of producing fine detail and complex shapes over a production run.
Sometimes known as investment casting, vacuum casting, centrifugal casting or cire perdue, it is one of the oldest methods of casting in the world dating back more than 5000 years.
Some of the earliest examples found are dated about 2500BC from the Royal Tombs at Ur in Mesopotamia.
Although this method has been used in many parts of the world since those early times, it is only in the last 40-50 years that it has been more commonly used in this country.
Today, it is confined almost exclusively to the jewellery and dental trades, whose wide use of noble metals requires the accurate reproduction of the original pattern.
Whilst our website is directed towards the jewellery trade, we also supply the dental trade and other outlets. Related Products |
