Custom casting work, Trinity Casting Company

We can work with you to develop and produce custom designs made from brass, bronze, sterling, yellow gold and white gold, up to 2" x 2" x 2". Because we use lost wax cast methods, we can produce designs that are almost impossible by methods like die stamping. The steps are as follows:

	Starting From "Scratch"
	Usually $500 + per-piece costs
1)	Customer provides a concept description, preferably sketches or finished drawings
2)	The drawings are finalized, approved by the customer, then transferred into our computer systems
3)	The computer system mills out a wax master, which is then touched up and finished by hand
4)	An RTV mold is made from the wax master
5)	Wax patterns are produced from the RTV mold, and affixed to a wax tree
6)	The wax tree goes through the investment, burnout and casting process
7)	The metal parts are cut from the tree, trimmed by hand, then polished
8)	After a final inspection, they are forwarded to the customer

	Starting with a Model
	Usually $200 + per-piece costs
1)	From the customer-provided master an RTV mold is made
2)	Wax patterns are produced from the RTV mold, and affixed to a wax tree
3)	The wax tree goes through the investment, burnout and casting process
4)	The metal parts are cut from the tree, trimmed by hand, then polished
5)	After a final inspection, they are forwarded to the customer

If many parts are to be made, or if you provide a metal master, we will make a production-quality mold from Castaldo rubber instead of RTV. Either produce excellent pieces, but the vulcanized rubber mold lasts longer -- usually hundreds of parts -- before having to make a new mold.

Custom work requires at least half payment in advance, and the balance upon shipment. Custom work costs are not refundable.
