Which casting process is best? The volume of parts is not a critical factor in choosing the best casting process but the secondary manufacturing steps are. These secondary steps can add substantially to the cost of a manufactured part. Therefore using the casting process that reduces or eliminates the secondary processes is most critical. Investment Casti ng is the process that is most effective at reducing the requirement for secondary manufacturing steps, therefore lowering the cost of parts plus the following advantages:
- Better design flexibility for parts with complex shapes
- Weight Reduction
- Close Tolerances
- Better Surface Finish
- Zero Draft
- Minimum Mismatch
- Casting Repeatability
If your part doesn't require most of the advantages of the Investment Casting process shown above you should consider the less costly Sand Casting process.
