As described by LearnMech in the article “Lost Wax Casting – Process, Advantages and Disadvantages,” lost wax casting—also known as investment casting—is a time-honored metal forming process that remains unmatched in its ability to capture intricate shapes. From ancient sculptures to modern-day automotive and aerospace components, this process continues to deliver exceptional precision and complexity.
Lost wax casting derives its name from the wax pattern used in the molding process, which melts and exits the mold during burnout. Though the materials and techniques have evolved over time, the core process remains true to its origins and continues to be widely used by foundries and artists alike.
