What factors affect the cost of investment casting tools?1.Casting complexity, an overly complex part may require the use of more moving parts in the tool, which increases the time and number of processes required to build it.
2.Size, larger parts means larger tools, which requires more materials to build the tool, and more time to process the mold cavities in the tool
3.In certain cases, a soluble core may be required. While soluble cores are an important asset for producing complex cavities, they require their own tools, which increases upfront tooling costs
