The purpose of the present study is to investigate process capability of hybrid investment casting (HIC) for industrial applications. Starting from the identification of component, prototypes were prepared as replicas of plastic patterns (by hybridization of fused deposition modelling and conventional investment casting). Some important mechanical properties were also compared to verify the suitability of the components. Final components produced are acceptable as per ISO standard UNI EN 20286-I (1995). The results of study suggest that HIC process lies in ±4.5sigma (σ) limit as regard to dimensional accuracy of component is concerned. This process ensures rapid production of pre-series technological prototypes and proof of concept at less production cost and time.
