Lost Wax Casting: Traditional Craftsmanship for Premium Kansa Bronze

 

Eaglador-lost-wax-process-for-model-making

At Eaglador, every piece of our luxury heavy gauge Kansa bronze kitchenware is handcrafted using the ancient lost-wax casting method. This time honoured technique transforms our premium copper-tin alloy (78% copper, 22% tin the divine ratio) into heirloom-quality pieces that combine sculptural elegance, Ayurvedic wellness, and exceptional durability. 

 

Through the mastery of traditional lost-wax casting, we create pieces that meet our exacting standards for performance, beauty, and toxin-free luxury — bringing functional art to modern kitchens worldwide.


1. Model-making - The Foundation of Sculptural DesignEaglador Mould making for a bronze wine bucket

An original model is meticulously sculpted from wax. This stage captures the sculptural lines that define our premium Kansa bronze cookware and cutlery.


2. Mould-making: Precision for Premium Quality

A mould is created from the wax model… This precision ensures our luxury Kansa bronze items retain flawless forms.


3. Wax: Building layers of Excellence

Molten wax is poured into the mould and swirled to create an even 3mm coating, repeated for desired thickness. This step ensures the heavy gauge construction that defines our premium Kansa bronze cookware, delivering exceptional durability and performance.


4. Removal of wax: Revealing the Core Form

The hollow wax replica is carefully extracted from the mould. This delicate process preserves the integrity of our pieces, ensuring each premium heirloom item — from Ayurvedic bronze pots to high-end cutlery — embodies timeless sophistication.

 

5. Chasing: Refining for Luxury Perfection

Using heated tools, imperfections and parting lines are smoothed away, dressing the wax to mirror the final product. This chasing step refines the sculptural elegance of our heavy gauge Kansa bronze, guaranteeing a flawless finish that elevates gourmet experiences.


6. Spruing: Pathways for Molten Mastery

A tree-like wax structure is attached to provide channels for metal flow and air escape. This strategic setup is crucial for our induction-compatible luxury sets, allowing the divine ratio alloy to fill every detail without flaws.

7. Slurry & Shell: Fortifying for Durability

The sprued wax is dipped in silica slurry and coated with crystalline silica stucco, building a ceramic shell at least half an inch thick. For larger pieces like our heirloom cookware bundles, we reinforce for robustness, aligning with our heavy gauge standards.


8. Burnout: Melting Away the Temporary

The shell is kiln-fired to harden and melt out the wax, leaving a precise negative space. This step prepares the mould for the infusion of our premium bronze alloy, ensuring non-stick patina development and ultra-conductive properties.

 

9. Testing: Ensuring Uncompromised Integrity

The cooled shell is checked for flow and sealed if needed. This rigorous testing upholds our standards for toxin-free luxury kitchenware, guaranteeing pieces that enhance Ayurvedic wellness without leaks or weaknesses.


10. Pouring: The Birth of Heirloom Bronze 

Molten bronze is poured into the hot shell to prevent shattering, then cooled. This transformative moment brings Eaglador’s pieces to life .


11. Release: Revealing the Raw Form

The shell is broken away, revealing the rough casting. Sprues are removed for recycling, marking the start of refining our sustainable luxury items into polished heirlooms.


  

 12. Metal-chasing: Polishing to Perfection

Air bubbles and sprue remnants are filed and polished away. This final chasing perfects the surface, readying our premium Kansa bronze for patina evolution — turning functional tools into sculptural art.
