Ceramic shell casting

Ceramic shell casting is a technique used to create metal objects by forming a detailed ceramic mold around a wax model. First, the wax model is coated with a ceramic slurry, then covered with a refractory material to build a thick shell. When heated, the wax melts away, leaving a hollow ceramic mold. Molten metal is then poured into this mold to form the final object. This process allows for precise, complex shapes with a smooth surface finish, making it ideal for making high-quality metal parts in industries like aerospace and jewelry.
