Perseo SA is a leading company in the precision casting sector, specialising in producing high-quality components through three advanced production methods: the lost-wax system, the ceramic system, and the vacuum system. With extensive experience and collaboration with European-level artists, it can offer reliable, tailor-made solutions for its customers.
A technique that was already widespread in the third millennium BC, of which the Ancient Sardinian Civilisation was a master.
This technique exploits wax's ability to melt and “evaporate” at high temperatures.
To summarise, a model of the artist's work is created that dissolves when heated, hence the term "lost wax", and is replaced by molten metal which, once solidified, will give life to the final sculpture.
This casting technique can be used for bronze, white bronze (nickel bronze), aluminium and silver.
This technique is particularly suitable for sculptures with a smooth and shiny finish, as well as for smaller sculptures. It is a very fast casting technique; in fact, you can obtain the final product in about two weeks.
This casting technique can be used for bronze, white bronze (nickel bronze), aluminium and silver.
The advantage of this technique is its speed; in fact, it is possible to obtain a casting in 4/5 days. This system is employed in jewellery and dental technology for small and precise castings, but the foundry has adapted much larger cylinders to meet various requirements request.
This system also allows for the casting of works and sculptures with considerably reduced thicknesses.
