Lost Wax Development

LWD Castings is the leading metal castings company in the West Midlands. We produce award-winning metal castings in a variety of high quality metal substrates at our foundry in Kidderminster.

At LWD, we are proud to offer a flexible approach towards your next project. We offer a quality service that is individually tailored to the needs of your company and our design process gives you the freedom to create castings that meet your exact requirements. The versatility of our casting service is exemplified by our commitment to the engineering industry alongside our involvement in fine arts.

Metal Castings for Engineering

Our company regularly works alongside professional clients from the precision engineering industry to produce bespoke metal castings for a variety of applications. We use the latest equipment and modern techniques to see every project through from the design concept to the production line. The team at LWD are able to produce prototypes for your consideration or one-off items to suit your bespoke requirements.

As we have developed a specialist foundry, we are able to deal with batch orders or continuous high volume production runs. We specialise in investment casting, otherwise known as lost-wax casting, which reproduces components that are highly accurate with unbeatable metal integrity. LWD has previously produced castings for many engineering sectors including marine, aerospace and defence.

Fine Art Metal Castings

As we have a reputation for producing aesthetically designed components, LWD has become the top choice for artists and sculptors. The lost-wax casting process is ideally suited to fine art applications and has been used by artists and craftsmen for many centuries.

Artists choose LWD because we understand the demands of today’s art market and we therefore provide you with high quality metal castings with the finest finishes. We regularly cast sculptures in the popular material of bronze, and we are happy to advise you of other suitable metal substrates. Our other art and craft projects include fine jewellery and trophy making. Please browse our online gallery to view our award-winning sculpture castings.

A Flexible Approach and the Highest Standards of Performance

From design concept to production, and from 0.5kg to 25kg our castings can be relied on to provide the very highest standard of performance. 

Whether one off prototypes or continuous high volume production runs, our simulation and quality control systems allied to an accelerated investment programme make us the natural choice in virtually any critical engineering situation.

So whilst we optimise our use of time and resources, we help to give our customers the strength they need to stay in front.
