Many buyers assume investment casting tooling refers to a single mold, but a complete tooling system often consists of several components designed to support efficient production.
Depending on the complexity of the part, investment casting tooling may include:
Wax injection die
Core inserts
Sliding mechanisms
Ejector systems
Alignment features
Cooling channels
The complexity of these components is one of the main reasons why investment casting tooling costs vary significantly from one project to another.
