Expendable pattern is used in Investment Casting process. It consists of Polystyrene foam and the process known as Lost Foam Process. An intricate design is made of polystyrene foam with help of hand tools or injection molding type process and allowed to enclosed by sand as in other sand molding, then directly molten metal is poured in to the mold without removal of pattern instantly the pattern burns and the molten metal fills the cavity. By this process an intricate shape object can be cast. As, the foam is not been reclaimed it is known as Lost Foam Process.
