In the investment casting process, a wax pattern is carefully created and then coated with alternating layers of slurry and sand to form a durable shell. After the wax is removed, molten metal—such as aluminum—is poured into the cavity, producing an exact replica of the original pattern. Compared to machining, investment casting offers a cost-effective solution for achieving undercuts, intricate geometries, fine details, and smooth surface finishes.
