lost wax casting method
1. Make a model in wax.
2. Make a mould around the wax.
3. Pour melted metal into the mould. The metal melts the wax, which runs away, and fills the mould.
4. Wait for the metal to solidify and break the mould.
This technique produces one casting only from an original wax model.
