What is Lost Foam Casting?

Lost foam casting is an advanced manufacturing process used at SynCraft Precision to create intricate and highly accurate metal components. This method involves crafting a foam pattern of the desired part, which is then coated with a refractory material. Once the coated pattern is surrounded by sand and molten metal is poured in, the foam vaporizes, leaving behind a precise metal casting. This approach ensures exceptional detail and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for complex geometries.

At SynCraft Precision, we leverage lost foam casting to produce components with minimal machining requirements, reducing production time and costs. The process allows for greater design flexibility, enabling the creation of lightweight yet durable parts with smooth surface finishes. Additionally, the absence of parting lines and cores ensures a superior aesthetic and structural integrity. Our advanced techniques and quality control measures guarantee consistent and reliable results, meeting the highest industry standards.

Step 1. Pattern Creation
A foam model of the desired part is made, replicating the exact shape and dimensions.
Step 2. Mold Preparation
The coated patterns are placed in a flask and surrounded by unbonded sand, which provides support without the need for binders.
Step 3. Metal Pouring
Molten metal is poured into the mold, vaporizing the foam pattern and taking its place.
Step 4. Assembly and Coating
Foam patterns are assembled if needed and coated with a refractory material to create a hard shell, ensuring smooth casting surfaces.
Cooling and Solidification
The metal cools and solidifies, forming the final casting.
Step 6. Finishing and Inspection
The sand is removed, and the casting is cleaned, finished, and inspected for quality and accuracy.
