At Franklin Precision Castings, we present ourselves as dedicated specialists in investment castings, producing complex metal components that demand exceptional accuracy, consistency, and material integrity. We work with a wide range of alloys—including stainless steels, carbon steels, tool steels, and specialty metals—to create near-net-shape parts that meet strict dimensional tolerances and structural requirements. By relying on the precision of the lost-wax process and maintaining tight control over each production stage, we manufacture castings that offer excellent repeatability, fine detail, and reliable performance in demanding applications.

We approach every project with an engineering-focused mindset, collaborating closely with customers to refine part designs, evaluate alloy options, and determine gating and tooling strategies that optimize both quality and cost efficiency. Our capabilities span rapid prototyping, wax pattern production, ceramic shell building, controlled metal pouring, heat treating, machining, and finishing, giving us the ability to manage the full lifecycle of an investment casting. Through meticulous process control, advanced inspection, and thorough quality assurance, we ensure that each component meets precise specifications and integrates seamlessly into downstream machining, assembly, or final product use.

Investment Casting

Investment Casting

Investment casting is a metal working process that uses a ceramic shell built over a wax pattern to produce parts with extraordinarily uniform and smooth surfaces. The wax pattern is produced from an aluminum die.The final products of investment casting are without parting lines, mold half marks, or other deformities…

Lost Wax Casting

Lost Wax Casting

Lost wax casting is a casting process that uses a wax pattern to create a ceramic mold for creating a part or product design. It has been known over the years as lost wax or precision casting due to its accuracy in recreating parts with precise tolerances…

The casting process is an ancient art that goes back several thousand years to the beginning of written history. The archeological record has finds that document the use of the casting process over 6000 years ago around 3000 BC or BCE…

Sand Casting

Sand Casting

Sand casting is a manufacturing process in which liquid metal is poured into a sand mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape and then allowed to solidify. Casting is a manufacturing process in which…

Forging

Forged Part

Forging is a metal working process that manipulates, shapes, deforms, and compresses metal to achieve a desired form, configuration, or appearance outlined by a metal processing design or diagram. Depending on the type of metal and the…

Die Casting

Die Casting

Die casting is a high pressure metal casting process that forces molten metal into a mold. It produces dimensionally accurate precision metal parts with a high quality finish. Its ability to produce detailed parts makes it perfect for the mass production of products…
