Precision wax injection tooling for investment casting
Investment casting, also called lost-wax casting, produces complex, near-net-shape metal parts with fine detail and a smooth surface finish. Every one of those parts starts as a wax pattern, and the quality of that pattern is set by the tool that makes it. Anderson Global designs and builds wax injection tooling that holds tight tolerances and repeats shot after shot.
You need investment cast tooling when your part has complex geometry, thin walls, undercuts or fine detail that would be costly to machine or fabricate.
Accuracy at the wax stage carries through to the casting
Wax patterns shrink, and the ceramic shell and the metal add their own variation. We design each tool with those factors in mind, then machine and bench it to tight tolerances and a smooth surface so the pattern, and the casting made from it, come out right. The more control you have at the wax stage, the less rework you have at the end.
The total solution for your wax tooling needs
Whether your part is complex, simple, or somewhere in between, our expertise gets you durable, reliable tooling that produces accurate, consistent wax patterns from the first shot.
A one-stop shop for your whole project
Design, simulation, machining, benching, validation: we will meet you anywhere in your process. No matter the challenge, we can solve it in our Michigan facility.
Decades of experience
Our team of design engineers and journeyman patternmakers has delivered hundreds of molds and core boxes across every industry, and their expertise is on call when you need it.
