Investment Casting
Investment casting delivers near-net-shape metal parts with fine detail and reduced machining. Partform coordinates casting production in Qingdao partner foundries for Oceania engineering teams.
- •Lost-wax casting for intricate external geometry
- •Steel, stainless, and alloy options with heat treatment
- •Gate and riser design optimised for your drawing
- •Machining and finishing for critical interfaces
Best-fit parts
Pumps, valves, brackets with complex curves, and components that would require heavy machining from solid bar are strong candidates for investment casting.
Frequently asked questions
Can you cast from a 3D print pattern?
Often yes for prototypes. Production tooling uses wax or soluble patterns depending on geometry and volume.
Are cast parts made in New Zealand?
No. Casting is performed in Qingdao, China partner facilities.
