Precision Lost-Wax Casting
Investment Casting Services
Fedele Autocore provides comprehensive investment casting services, also known as precision casting or lost-wax casting, delivering components with exceptional dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish. This ancient yet advanced manufacturing process enables the production of complex metal parts that would be difficult or impossible to create through other methods.
Our investment casting capabilities allow us to produce intricate components with thin walls, internal passages, and complex geometries in a single casting. This process is ideal for manufacturing parts with tight tolerances (±0.005" or better), excellent surface finishes (Ra 125 microinches or finer), and minimal machining requirements, significantly reducing production costs and lead times.
From aerospace turbine blades to medical implants and industrial valve components, we serve demanding industries across 21 countries, delivering high-quality precision castings in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
Key Advantages & Benefits
Investment casting offers unique capabilities for complex precision components.
Complex Geometries
Create intricate shapes with undercuts, thin walls, and internal features that are impossible with other casting methods.
Tight Tolerances
Achieve dimensional accuracy of ±0.005" (±0.13mm) or better, minimizing or eliminating secondary machining operations.
Superior Surface Finish
Excellent as-cast surface finish (Ra 125 microinches or better) reduces finishing requirements and costs.
Material Versatility
Cast virtually any metal alloy including stainless steels, carbon steels, aluminum, titanium, and exotic superalloys.
Design Freedom
Consolidate multiple parts into single castings, reducing weight, assembly time, and overall manufacturing costs.
Cost-Effective
Lower tooling costs compared to forging and die casting, ideal for medium production volumes and prototypes.
