  • How we calculate our prices:
    If you have waxes or intend to create moulds for casting in another metal, you should use the “Conversion Tables” (Excel) file to convert the weights of waxes or the starting metal into the desired casting metal.

    Only after obtaining this information you can estimate prices, based on the details provided in the PRICELIST (download).

    In other words, the price is composed of:
    a) The price per gram of the service as defined in the pricelist × the total weight of the cast piece;
    b) The price per gram of the metal × the weight of the piece.

    Aditional amounts may apply: metal sprues, moulds, etc, if needed or requested.
    VAT at 23% is added to the total price.

    Special prices for corporate clients with annual orders above 3.000 pieces. Contact us.
