The art was vastly practiced in ancient India for casting Idols and art objects mostly in copper alloys. The lost-wax method is well -documented in ancient Indian literary sources.
Investment casting (otherwise known as lost wax casting) is where a disposable wax replica or ‘wax pattern’ is formed from an injection moulding tool. Investment casting and manufacturing has been a core competence of Prevail Casting for years, resulting in our superior product quality.
Investment casting is usually one of the more expensive casting methods as it allows us to incorporate far more intricate designs that are generally not possible with other methods. This advantage over other manufacturing methods usually justifies any extra costs and is why investment casting remains a preferred method for items where the details are a key feature.
With our knowledge and experience on the subject, Prevail Casting will work with you to provide the highest quality components while remaining within your budget.
Prevail Casting has all the capabilities to assist you through your investment casting project.
Investment casting can produce items with very complex shapes and designs as the mould does not have to be separated - it is broken off.

Parts of the investment casting process can be automated for large scale production.
Low cost tooling! Prevail Casting produces their tools in-house to reduce tooling costs and ensure tool quality and durability.
