Consumable Pattern Ceramic Molding
Waukesha Foundry Consumable Pattern Ceramic Molding – Proven and Capable
When your casting project demands the tightest tolerances and best surface finish, Waukesha’s proven Full Mold Investment Casting process is the solution. Our castings are recognized throughout the industry as being the preferred choice for mid to large size castings featuring complex geometries and/or intricate designs with varying section sizes.
Our Process
Waukesha’s Consumable Pattern Ceramic Molding provides Investment like Castings. The process is a type of evaporative-pattern casting where special foam, polymethyl methacrylate acrylic (PMMA) or stereolithography (SLA) is used for the pattern material instead of wax as in the traditional investment cast process. The process employed at Waukesha utilizes foam patterns produced from dedicated dies in higher production applications, foam patterns machined from stock material through the use of a machining program, or printed PPMA / SLA developed from a customer supplied model.
