Sometimes Investment Casting is also called “Lost Wax Casting”. So what is the difference between Investment Casting and Lost Wax Casting? They may be similar, but there is a very thin line of difference between Investment Casting and Lostwax Casting. We can differ them with their process, if the investment casting is done by using wax pattern mold, then it is called lost wax casting.

• In Lost Wax Casting, the wax patterns were made manually for each piece. While in Investment Casting the metal was formed to produce high-quality casting components.
• Investment Casting is mainly used to manufacture critical and complex parts, while Lost Wax Casting is mostly used for small parts such as jewelry casting and fashion accessories.
• In Lost Wax Casting only one pattern can be used to make numerous patterns even though the pattern is melted and lost. But on the other hand, investment casting can produce exact replica of the desired casting.
• Lost Wax Casting manufacturer focuses on precise wax or mold design, while Investment Casting focuses on metal alloys like nickel alloy, copper alloy, cobalt-based, or superalloy.
