Isn’t investment casting only for large quantities?
This is probably the greatest misconception about investment casting. The truth is that we have customers who will buy castings in a range of quantities from 1 piece to thousands. The key is tooling amortization. This usually is the biggest factor in determining whether or not an investment casting is practical. We find that our clients usually feel that if a tool purchase can be justified over 1 to 2 years of cost savings, it makes sense to proceed with the project. However, there are many times when a tool can be justified in just one order. Every project is different, and sometimes the only way to know for sure is to have us evaluate your component at no cost to you to be sure you have all the facts to make an informed decision.
How do I request a quote and how long will it take to receive it?
Please contact us directly to find out what details we require, or better send us your drawings in .step file format, preferably with detailed drawings. Our goal is to turn quotes around in three days or less. If you have an urgent matter, we can turn quotes around in less than a day.
