What is Lost Foam Casting?

Lost foam casting is an innovative casting process that uses foam patterns, which evaporate upon contact with molten metal. This method eliminates the need for traditional pattern removal, resulting in high accuracy and smooth surface finishes.

How It Works

  1. Foam patterns are created using polystyrene (EPS or PMMA).
  2. The foam is assembled into the desired shape and coated with refractory material.
  3. Molten metal is poured into the mold, vaporizing the foam and filling the cavity.
  4. The metal solidifies, forming the final casting with minimal need for machining.
