Investment Casting Motorsport

Lestercast is one of the leading manufacturers of investment casting products within the Motorsport Industry. We supply many of the major motorsport OEM’s and suppliers with high precision quality castings, and have done throughout the last 50 years.

The motorsport industry has probably evolved more than any other industry, with the great need for fuel efficient vehicles, especially in the last five years. With the vast range of alloys available (see our metal specification page) and the newly developed techniques, investment casting components have become even more popular.  With the demand for aluminium at an all time high, investment casting manufacturers, like Lestercast, can help produce the most fuel efficient cars due to aluminium’s lightweight structure. For decades super alloys have been used predominantly throughout the motorsport industry due to their heat resistant properties.  Our highly skilled engineers have many years experience working with specialist alloys and it’s their knowledge and expertise that allows us to produce a quality product of which we are extremely proud.

Our rapid prototyping centre allows our customers to take advantage of the traditional Investment Casting process, producing near-net shape casting with little or no machining required and combine it with modern techniques. Here, we can 3d print wax patterns quickly and efficiently, keeping additional development costs down. Using rapid prototyping methods by printing waxes eliminates the need for expensive re-tooling.

Lestercast has been a proud member of the MIA (Motorsport Industry Association) for over ten years and have sponsored the MIA Business Awards for the last nine years. In this time we have built up a large network within the industry and an unrivalled reputation for delivering quality complex parts.
