Why Investment Casting?
Investment casting is considered a “net shape” or “near net shape” process. Most any configuration can be investment cast. The key to economical use of this process is to fully utilize its flexible capabilities and incorporate as much value into the cat piece as possible. No other metal working process provides the design freedom and variety of ally selections available with investment casting.
