Wax patterns can be supplied to us, or we can provide moldmaking and waxes for you. We also offer metal molding (hard tooling) to create wax patterns when exceptional dimensional stability and extremely sharp detail are needed.
We're not limited to wax: some customers supply us with organic materials such as sticks, leaves, bugs, etc. to be cast into metal. For the most part, these kinds of materials burn out well and cast successfully. Most plastics also work well.
Recently we've also been using patterns produced by rapid prototyping technology, such as 3-D printing and stereolithography. This technology is especially useful for parts that are difficult or impossible to mold, and the patterns are produced in a fraction of the time needed for conventional prototyping.
Our alloys are:
  Precious metals   Silicon bronze
  Aluminum   White bronze
  Pewter   Manganese bronze
  Yellow brass   Zamak-3
