Lost Foam Molding Machine
Lost foam casting moulds (lost foam molding machine), a type of EPS mould, enable foundries to produce intricate castings that would typically require cores. This innovative casting process ensures dimensionally accurate castings with excellent as-cast surface finishes. Unlike traditional methods, no draft is needed, eliminating split lines and flash formation. This significantly reduces or even eliminates post-casting finishing processes, minimizing material waste and production costs.

Compared to lost wax investment casting, lost foam casting has fewer manufacturing steps. It eliminates the need for risers in many cases, uses more affordable foam instead of wax, and can offer better economic viability under suitable production conditions.
Lost foam casting is a precision process that combines design flexibility with cost savings. It delivers castings with superior surface finishes and speeds up mold creation, resulting in shorter lead times. This makes it an ideal choice for efficient and high-quality production.
