WaxLoss

Predict dimensional shrinkage in investment casting wax patterns

Manufacturing AIPaid

WaxLoss models volumetric and linear shrinkage of investment casting wax patterns from injection molding through burnout stages. The tool applies thermal contraction coefficients specific to filled and unfilled pattern waxes across the solidification temperature range and accounts for constraint-dependent shrinkage variations in thin walls, heavy sections, and cored features. Gate and runner sizing recommendations maintain directional solidification for defect-free castings.
