Sample Parts

Complex shapes can be produced with less labor, and the process can be automated fairly easily. Shell-mold casting applications include small mechanical parts requiring high percision, such as gear housings, cylinder heads, and connecting rods. Shell molding is also widely used in producing high-percision molding cores, such as engine water block jackets.
