Advantages of Investment Casting

Precision investment castings are a great way to take your products from being concepts on paper into reality, helping you grow your business and achieve effective results. There are many different advantages to using an experienced investment casting company that can work with you to create a product and design that works for your business.

One of the biggest advantages to investment casting is that it offers a faster production time than other methods, because the amount of machining that is needed after casting is cut down. At Intercast, with our casting foundry in Mexico, we are able to reduce lead times to more quickly create production runs that give you more immediate feedback. This rapid response and prototyping allows us to cut costs as well as time for our customers.

Affordable Costs

Another major advantage of investment casting is that it offers more affordable costs in getting the product from idea to creation. This is especially true at Intercast, where we operate as a maquiladora, which allows us to offer lower prices than our competitors while maintaining a very high quality. Additionally, the less expensive, less dangerous equipment that is used to create investment casts allows for greater cost savings.

Investment casts offer the benefit of being able to use a wide variety of materials in creating casts. Whether it’s bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, or anything in between, investment casts allow for greater material flexibility. Along with this is more flexibility in design, including the creation of casts of very complex parts or intricate designs.

This includes being able to design almost any configuration or shape, giving you ultimate design creativity. Casting can also be created along a wide range of sizes, allowing you to design casts that are very small or very large. Our foundry has the ability to produce low, medium, and high volume production runs, with rapid prototyping with our 3D printing system.

Industry-Wide Uses

Another benefit of investment casting is that it is used across a wide variety of industries, giving experienced companies the capacity and knowledge to work with almost any type of business. For everything from aerospace castings to oil & gas casting, we have seen and done almost everything. Our leadership team has over 125 years of combined experience, which allows us to partner with you to create the right product that will help your business.

Investment casting is a way to design components for your business in a more cost-effective manner, producing casts that range from simple to incredibly complex, all within a reasonable timeframe. In a fast-paced business world, this allows you to gain competitive advantages over your competition, giving you the parts you need.
