![]() 33 forum posts 5 photos | Does anyone know of a investment casting company who will do small batches ? I only want 10 pieces made, i have even made the wax blanks, they just want casting into alloy. I spent all yesterday evening on the internet trawling around, but there seems to be only large companies who cast by the thousands, and most probably would not be interested in doing just 10 pieces. dave

This company expects people to supply waxes and charges by the gram, which suggests they do small runs! They also say the love a challenge! justcastings.co.uk/what-we-do/casting/ If you do use them (or another company) why not do a little write up for MEW? Neil |
