Our Gold Casting Process
We start by working closely with you to understand your needs, with expert guidance where needed on material selection and production techniques.
Pioneers in precious metal casting since 1947, our lost wax casting process offers flexibility and precision. Wax or resin models are created through traditional moulds or 3D printed before being sprued. Once complete, each wax tree is set in investment powder to form precise moulds ready for casting. Finally, the wax is heated and “lost” to form a negative mould ready for gold casting. An experienced honed process, lost wax gold casting is ideal for those seeking precision.
Our process includes:
- Digital or physical master creation
- Wax or resin production via 3D print or mould
- Sprue or tree creation
- Investment and Burnout whereby the wax is encased in a ceramic shell and set, which is then heated to eliminate the wax and create a negative mould.
- Casting (either vacuum or centrifugal)
- Removal of investment and surface cleaning
- Clipping to remove castings from the tree
- Inspection and quality control
Once cast, each piece undergoes a full inspection for porosity and flaws before on-site hallmarking through our in-house Birmingham sub-assay office.
Whether you’re working with us on a one-off bespoke piece, a collection or on daily castings our experienced team are here to help with all your gold casting needs.
