Investment casting process requires several steps, mostly manual operations, which make this technology economically advantageous in the countries where labour costs are restrained.

From an economical point of view, one of the advantages of this technology is the low-cost initial investment in creating the moulds for wax production althought facing particularly complex geometries or undercuts that are difficult to achieve.
Moreover, the high repeatability of the process, the opportunity to achieve narrower tolerances compared to castings with sand technology and the superior quality of the surface finishing, make this process the perfect solution for the production of details with a low weight even starting from small batches.
