AB Casting with a disposable pattern is a method employed to produce intricate-shaped castings. This manufacturing technique falls into the near-net shape methods category, which ensures that the result-ing castings closely resemble the final components. Its primary application lies in industries where pre-cision and complex castings are of paramount importance. Typically, castings manufactured using this method utilize higher-cost materials. The focus of this study centres on the utilization of reverse engi-neering in the production, modification, and inspection of wax injection moulds during the casting pro-cess. Within the scope of this investigation, a non-contact method employing the Kreon arm with the Aqulion scanner was implemented. This method facilitated the generation of a digital scan, serving as the foundation for designing and validating the mould for subsequent practical application.
