The main focus in the paper is given to the latest trends in material and equipment used in all individual phases of the process, i.e. in manufacturing of wax patterns and ceramic shells, dewaxing process, shell heat treatment, metal pouring process and finishing operations. The last part of the paper should be devoted to the demonstration of investment casting process capabilities for manufacturing very complex and accurate parts originally made by using different technologies to investment casting.
