The Steel Investment Casting Process
Here are the key steps involved in the steel investment casting process: Wax Pattern Creation: Injection Molding: Create wax patterns by injecting molten wax into molds. Pattern Assembly: Assemble wax patterns for the next casting stages. Shell Building: Coating: Apply ceramic coatings to the wax assembly. Drying: Thoroughly dry the coated pattern. Stuccoing: Reinforce the […]
Rapid Injection Molding
Rapid plastic injection molding is a process that results in a very durable set of identical parts for testing with multiple backup parts. Rapid injection molding can be used for high-fidelity product evaluations and bridge tooling for temporary production at a product launch. The typical lead time for rapid tooling is 2-3 weeks for the initial […]
