How is the cost of investment casting calculated?
Before deciding which investment casting option is best for your project, you should review the following considerations. While we like to think anything is possible, it always comes down to what it costs to produce it.
Several factors affect the cost of investment casting, including:
Materials and alloys used
part size
order quantity
design complexity
instrumental factor
Testing and Certification
Investment Casting Alloy Material Options
Precision investment castings can be made from an almost unlimited variety of investment casting alloys. The cost of lost wax casting will vary depending on the material or alloy required for your particular application or environment.
Investment casting involves the use of metal molds (usually aluminum), wax, ceramic slurry, furnaces, molten metal, and whatever machinery is required for sandblasting, vibratory tumbling (with or without abrasive or polishing media), cutting, and grinding.
