What's Investment Casting?
Investment casting (or precision casting, silica sol process) involves creating a wax model, coating it with ceramic, melting out the wax, and pouring molten metal into the ceramic mold. After the metal solidifies, the ceramic shell is removed, leaving a high-precision metal part.
