Strengths of lost foam casting
Lost foam casting shares many of the advantages with lost wax investment casting, but involves fewer steps and uses cheaper materials, thus it is generally more economical than the later. Foam patterns are also easier to shape (can be glued and carved), which further aids the freedom of design. All these features help keep waste levels down and lower per-unit production cost. This process is ideal for high quality single casting, small volume production, prototyping, or supersized castings (from 0.5 kg up to 10 tons)
