For optimal results with lost wax casting, we recommend a minimum wall thickness of 0.8mm to ensure structural integrity and proper casting. Typically, only one part can be cast per mold, though exceptions for two parts may be possible depending on the modelβs complexity. The process captures fine details as small as 0.4mm.
In terms of accuracy, deviations can vary based on the dimension, as tolerances are directional. For a polished finish, typical deviations are around 2.5%, with material removal ranging from 0.30-0.45mm. For a natural finish, deviations are closer to 1.5%, with 0.20-0.30mm of material removal.
For specific components such as ring diameters, our skilled craftsmanship ensures a high level of precision, often closely matching the original design file.
Yes, we offer chains and clippings upon request. You can reach out to us at [email protected].
Starting in Q1 2025, we will introduce a feature on our webshop that allows you to order these items directly.

As a Netherlands-based business, VAT (Value Added Tax) is applied to all orders shipped within the EU. The VAT rate depends on the destination country and is calculated based on local VAT rates, in compliance with EU VAT regulations.
If you are a registered business within the EU (outside of the Netherlands) and provide a valid VAT number during checkout, no VAT will be charged, as the reverse charge mechanism will apply. However, Dutch businesses must still pay VAT, even with a valid VAT number.
For orders shipped outside the EU, VAT will not be applied at checkout. However, please be aware that you may be responsible for paying import duties, taxes, or customs fees upon delivery, depending on your country’s regulations. We recommend checking with your local customs office for more details on these charges.
The need to pay customs duties or taxes on your order depends on the value of your order and the customs regulations of your country. For international orders, we operate under Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) terms. This means that any import duties, taxes, or customs fees are determined by your local customs authorities and may apply if your order exceeds the duty-free threshold in your country. If applicable, these charges will be your responsibility upon delivery. We strongly advise checking with your local customs office to understand the applicable thresholds and fees for your specific location.
