Malabou Pty Ltd is an Australian-based supplier of high-quality investment castings for mining, defence, infrastructure, transport, agriculture and industrial manufacturing sectors.
We provide precision lost wax casting solutions through an established global manufacturing network, supported by Australian technical oversight, quality assurance and responsive local service.
If you are searching for a dependable investment casting supplier in Australia, Malabou delivers engineered casting solutions designed for performance, durability and cost efficiency.
Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a precision metal casting process used to produce complex, high-accuracy components with excellent surface finish.
The process involves:
Producing a wax pattern of the component
Building a ceramic shell around the pattern
Removing the wax to create a mould cavity
Pouring molten metal into the mould
Finishing and inspecting the solidified casting
This near-net-shape manufacturing method enables intricate geometries without flash or parting lines, significantly reducing secondary machining and fabrication requirements.
Compared with sand casting or machining from billet, investment casting offers:
Greater dimensional accuracy
Improved surface finish
Material efficiency
Lower total production cost for complex parts
Malabou supplies precision cast components ranging from small intricate parts to substantial structural components.
From just a few grams
Up to approximately 25 kg per casting
Cross sections from ~2.5 mm to 75 mm
This flexibility allows us to support both detailed precision parts and larger load-bearing components.
Investment casting is chosen for its precision.
Typical tolerances:
±0.1 mm for the first 25 mm
±0.04 mm for each additional 10 mm
Standard surface finish:
1.3 – 4.0 µm Ra
This level of accuracy reduces machining time, improves consistency and lowers total component cost.
