Processes

Prototype Casting offers 5 different processes to manufacture your parts. The ability to select the most appropriate process based on the design requirements of the part allows us to tailor our solutions to our customer’s needs. From Rapid Investment casting using a lost wax process, which is suitable for making smaller quantities of parts to Rubber Plaster Mold, and Precision Sand casting, which allow us to make production quantities of larger parts, we have a process that fits the job. When the part is too large for our lost wax investment casting process, and the number of parts doesn’t justify hard tooling, we can offer castings using a printed sand mold process. Additionally, we are fully capable of machining parts from stock.

Each process we offer has advantages and limitations. Our engineers analyze each job to ensure we’re using the appropriate process for the job based on a number of factors.
