Introducing a case of lost-wax processing that can unify the conventional method, which was divided into multiple processes and parts!

"Lost wax" is a casting method that utilizes the property of wax (paraffin) to melt at relatively low temperatures. By injecting wax into a mold to create a high-precision model, and then pouring metal into a mold based on that model, it can flexibly accommodate complex shapes regardless of the material. In addition to excellent casting surface and dimensional accuracy, it can streamline the traditional methods that were divided into multiple processes and parts, achieving labor savings and rationalization, resulting in a cost reduction of over 50% (compared to our company). 【Processing Examples and Benefits】 ◎ Welded Products ■ Traditional: Process multiple parts → Weld ■ Lost Wax: Cast → Process ◎ Processed Assembly Products ■ Traditional: Process multiple parts → Assemble ■ Lost Wax: Cast → Screw processing ◎ Fully Processed Products ■ Traditional: Machining from a block ■ Lost Wax: Only casting (no processing required) *For details, please request materials or view the PDF data from the download.

basic information

**Features of Lost Wax Casting** ■ High design flexibility - Capable of producing complex shapes and undercut shapes that cannot be machined. - Allows for easy weight reduction and prevention of material loss through techniques like hollowing. - Logos and part numbers can also be displayed. ■ Freedom in material selection - Various materials can be cast as long as they can be melted in air, even if they are hard or sticky, making machining difficult. - Material changes mid-production and the creation of different materials with the same shape are also possible. ■ Reduction in the number of parts - Cost reduction is achievable by integrating products that were previously assembled or welded from multiple parts. - Contributes to improved safety and precision. ■ Inexpensive and highly durable molds - Lost wax molds can be produced at a very low cost compared to other methods, and they experience minimal wear even with repeated mass production, allowing for semi-permanent use. - Design changes such as adding ribs or altering dimensions can be easily accommodated by modifying the mold. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
