Investment casting enables manufacturers to produce precision engineered parts while minimizing material and energy waste. The term "overcasting" refers to encasing a wax pattern in a shell to create a container, which is then filled with molten metal.

Aerospace investment casting accessories include:
Air and Fuel System Parts
engine parts
hydraulic system parts
Environmental Control System Components
Landing Control System Components
internal mechanical parts
Operator Interface Control
Cab Control System Parts
Aerospace components must withstand extreme weather conditions, stress, and other factors that cause operational wear and tear—thus, these components require exceptional inherent durability. The consistency and precision of parts afforded by investment casting results in a significant increase in tensile strength. Manufacturing aerospace parts by investment casting also ensures that interlocking parts can be mated quickly and easily, preventing assembly errors that could lead to excessive wear or failure.

Advantages of Investment Casting for Aerospace Components
Investment casting is ideal for producing aerospace components for the following reasons:
Investment casting produces parts with the carefully designed, thin-walled, undercut holes and slots often required for aerospace components.
Parts made with investment casting will have an excellent surface finish, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary machining.
Investment casting produces parts of varying sizes and weights.
