As the years roll on so too does technology and what we have the ability to do. Recently we have implemented a new lost foam casting process to the long list of services that we offer.
Lost Foam is an innovative process that produces castings with a better surface finish, it reduces the time needed to create the molds and faster molding means shorter lead times.
Lost-foam casting (LFC) is a type of evaporative-pattern casting process; it’s a fast, accurate and cost effective way to make cast parts and will help us to fulfil our orders faster.
Here are a few facts about LFC
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.
Ask us if we can use the Lost Foam Process on your orders.
