Technique used to achieve a very high-quality surface finish and very tight dimensional tolerances. The unique casting process developed and perfected by Joseph Ortogni, Founder of Walcast, whose secret is well kept, allows for obtaining raw casting details without any mechanical or manual intervention, using a permanent model.
The manufacturing process is similar to that used in traditional foundry, but the sand is replaced by a refractory mixture that acquires all its qualities after a few hours of high-temperature baking in a neutral atmosphere. Thanks to this process, the molds have dimensional precision, reducing machining and finishing operations. It is possible to reproduce surface finishes of great finesse, in relief or hollow, directly from casting. The easy design of the foundry models also allows for obtaining complex shapes.
