Lost Foam Casting

Here are a few facts about LFC

• No draft is required as the pattern is vapourised in the pouring process
• The process is dimensionally accurate requiring less machining
• LFC maintains an excellent surface finish (so less finishing is required)
• Lost Foam is also an environmentally friendly process as emissions are low and the sand is reused
• In a nutshell the LFC process is more efficient, meaning we can make more castings with better lead times

Although Lost-foam casting was invented in the early fifties by Canadian sculptor Armand Vaillancourt, the technology available to us today allows us to deliver better more accurate castings utilising age old techniques.

We love the efficiencies it creates and the drastic reduction in lead-time it offers us.
