Well!!!!!!!

Investment casting also known as Lost Wax Process is widely used for making intricately shaped components.

Risks:
* Use of Carbon tetrachloride (CTC)
* Long lead time
* Highly Costly

Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminium, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part.

Risks:
* More defects
* Disease prone due to plastic
