LAMOTHERMIC - Lost Wax Castings
This video was shot in 1996 at the Lamothermic factory in Brewster New York. Produced by Paul M. Levine, the video depicts a process called "lost wax casting".
Cut to industrial music, the video portrays a bygone age of manufacturing in the United States. It also depicts the end of a time when these type of manufacturing jobs existed in our country.
This ageless process begins by making a part in wax, then assembling these parts on a "tree", that is then covered by layers of hard material that makes a mold. Once hardened, the wax is melted out of the mold and various types of molten metals, i.e. steel, copper, aluminum, etc. are now poured into the void that was left AFTER the wax was melted out.
Once the metal cools off, the piece is cut off the "tree" and the "flash" is removed. The part is then machined into a final finished product. This process is used even today in the making of car parts, golf clubs, guns, model train engines and any thing that requires metal to be molded into an object.
