Apply investment materials: The ceramic mould, known as the investment, is produced by repeating a series of steps—coating, stuccoing, and hardening—until a desired thickness is achieved. Coating involves dipping a pattern cluster into a slurry of fine refractory material and then draining to create a uniform surface coating.
Ceramic mold casting, also known ambiguously as ceramic molding, [1] is a group of metal casting processes that use ceramics as the mold material. It is a combination of plaster mold casting and investment casting. [2] [3] There are two types of ceramic mold casting: the Shaw process and the Unicast process. [4]
Tape casting (also called doctor blading, knife coating, and shank shifting) [1] is a casting process used in the manufacture of thin ceramic tapes and sheets from ceramic slurry. [2] The ceramic slurry is cast in a thin layer onto a flat surface and then dried and sintered. [3] It's a part of powder metallurgy. [4]: 167
Ceramic shell casting techniques using silica, zirconia and other refractory materials are currently used by the metal parts industry for 'net casting', forming precision shell moulds for molten metal casting. The technique involves a successive wet dipping and dry powder coating or stucco to build up the mould shell layer.
Rapid casting is an integration of investment casting with rapid prototyping/3D printing. In this technique disposable patterns that are used for forming molds are created by any 3D printing technique, including fused deposition modeling and stereolithography .
Ceramic molding is a versatile and precise manufacturing process that transforms clay or porcelain into intricate shapes. Employing techniques like slip casting or press molding, artisans create precise replicas of original models. After molding, the ceramics are fired at high temperatures, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

African red slip ware: moulded Mithras slaying the bull, 400 ± 50 AD.. A slip is a clay slurry used to produce pottery and other ceramic wares. [1] Liquified clay, in which there is no fixed ratio of water and clay, is called slip or clay slurry which is used either for joining leather-hard (semi-hardened) clay body (pieces of pottery) together by slipcasting with mould, glazing or decorating ...
