Lightweight and cost reduction: Solving metal parts issues with lost-wax precision casting.

Difficult shapes and special steel are also available! Please feel free to consult us regarding metal parts.

**Lost Wax Precision Casting by Castem** - Capable of mass-producing complex and hollow shapes at low cost. - Strength can be freely pursued from two aspects: shape and material. - Over 70 types of steel can be freely selected, including special steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, and ultra-high-strength aluminum materials (A7075). - Offers higher precision compared to other casting methods, reducing the number of machining processes. The image shows an example where parts that were traditionally manufactured through machining were switched to lost wax precision casting, leading to **weight reduction and cost savings**. The transition to casting improved mass production capabilities. Unnecessary areas were thinned out, also reducing material costs. Lost wax precision casting excels in producing hollow and complex three-dimensional shapes. We carefully listen to your concerns regarding metal parts and propose the optimal shape. In the example, we reduced the machining area by incorporating fillets (thinning) during the design phase, leading to cost reduction. By making only the functional areas convex, we minimized the machining and management scope. We achieved a shape that is effective in maintaining quality. Depending on the application and size, we can also propose other manufacturing methods such as MIM (Metal Injection Molding), which excels in thin-walled small parts, and mold-less casting digital cast, which is perfect for prototypes starting from one piece.
