The typical tolerance for investment casting (Lost Wax Casting) is defined in ISO 8062 generally, but ICI also required a coordinate tolerance in ICI 1997.
ICI 1997 provide a single set tolerance between 0.5 inch to 10 inch. It’s similar to ISO 286-2 Class JS15
Generally, the tolerance will be affected by three factors:
- Wax shrinkage factors.
- tooling Design tolerance.
- Process variation, include shell and material.
