Metal Casting Cost Calc

Metal Casting Cost Calc helps jewelers, lost-wax makers, resin-print casters, and small foundry workshops estimate casting material before the melt. Turn wax or resin pattern weight into a practical metal estimate. Add sprue/button buffer, shrinkage allowance, supplier premium, margin, and local-currency material pricing to prepare a quote-ready cost snapshot. Use it when you need to price a small pour, prepare a client estimate, order casting grain, or keep the exact assumptions behind a quote. Core features: • Wax/resin-to-metal conversion • Metal weight estimator • Live delayed spot-price based material estimates • Manual supplier price per gram override • Supplier premium and margin percentage • Local currency support • Sprue/button buffer • Shrinkage allowance • Saved quote snapshots with pricing source • Offline, local-first saved history Casting Cost Calc is a quote-prep calculation tool. It is not a safety manual, engineering certification tool, supplier invoice, or substitute for qualified foundry procedures. Always verify supplier pricing and process assumptions for critical work.
