While investment casting is an excellent solution for a wide variety of applications, it is ideal for an extensive array
Process Step 2 — Investment Casting Pattern Assembly
The second step in the investment casting process is creating the pattern assembly. In the vast majority of casting runs, more than one part can be cast at a time for efficiency and speed. To accomplish this, two or more (often many) patterns are attached to the sprue, which is a structure that will enable molten metal to be poured into multiple cavities from a single entry point. Craftsmen skillfully assemble the structure using hot wax to optimally place each pattern.
