https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0A57FXDams Lost-wax casting is a technique that dates back to ancient times. Among the best-preserved examples from antiquity are the Bronzes of Riace. The lost-wax casting method is used in the fashion and jewellery industry: a reproduction of the piece is created in wax or using 3D printing. Additional pieces, casting channels and uprights are… Continue reading Micro casting
