Wax Assembly

Located in Tempe, AZ

Salary: 17

JOB SUMMARY

Inspect and repair defects in a wax pattern that has been injected.  Use hot irons, water welding torches and hot melted seal/patch wax to repair any defects and to attach wax patterns onto a sprue (also injected).  Using hot melted glue, known as “Stik-Tite” and other wax injected components, complete a build/assembly of a mold that will go through the casting process and later become an investment casting.   

JOB REQUIREMENTS
