This causes the wax to flow out of the mold, leaving the cavity for the metal casting. Then the hardened ceramic mold is turned upside down and heated to a temperature of around 200F-375F (90C-175C). The tree is then repeatedly dipped into the slurry to increase the thickness of the ceramic coat.

A ceramic layer is obtained over the surface of the tree. The wax tree is then dipped in a refractory slurry whose composition includes extremely fine grained silica, water and binders. After that we made wax branches and trees with lots of pieces. Normally wax replicas are made with injection molding, but since we were just prototyping, I used pots to melt the wax and poured them into silicone molds. Investment casting is a manufacturing process that allows the casting of extremely complex parts, with good surface finish.

There are some modern, experimental chess sets but the pieces are not easy to identify.I wanted to create games that even after they finished playing, people still want to keep on their tables, display it as a modern art piece. Most of these games are in our homes and when we finish a game, we put the board back in its box. These games have been in our lives for a long long time and the market is dominated by old, classic designs of these games. Classic games like chess, checkers, backgammon, foosball, etc.
