More About the Lost Wax Method

This is a traditional metal casting method used to produce a bronze item from an artist’s sculpture. Also called by its French name of cire-perdue, this is a method where molten metal is poured into a mold that has been created by using a wax model. Once the mold is made, the wax model is melted and drained away leaving a space to pour in the molten metal which then sets to produce a solid metal item.

Lost Wax Method
sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.

In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
