Custom Casting Service
We cast to your individual specifications from:

  1. One-off Castings from Wax Patterns Supplied

    Your wax patterns may be supplied to us for one off castings. Apecs caters to all areas of craftsmanship within the jewellery and allied trades from manufacturers to hobbyists and students. Our service offers the opportunity of working in wax as an alternative medium to obtain a pattern. This pattern can then be cast in your desired metal type on a one-off basis
  2. Master Patterns Supplied for Moulding
    From a metal master pattern supplied, a vulcanised rubber mould is made for reproduction of your design to order. The master pattern is returned to you with a mould reference number which may be quoted only by you for re-orders..

 APECS MOULDING POLICY

MOULDING FEES

All standard moulds will incur a once-only fee at time of initial moulding. Replacement moulds if needed for fair wear and tear will be made free of charge.
This once only fee is currently Aust.$18 for standard moulds, payable at time of initial moulding.
Ownership of the rubber mould is Apecs’
, with exclusive use of the design contained in such mould being that of the customer from whose master pattern and to whose order for product the mould was produced.
The exclusive access to product from the mould will remain with such customer for as long as, and for two clear years beyond, the time they remain a current customer of Apecs. This is irrespective of use of any particular moulds. i.e. all moulds made to the order of such customer remain held as exclusive access.

CONTRACT MOULDING - OWNERSHIP OF MOULDS

Moulds can also be made on a contract basis for your ownership where you may wish to purchase and retain the mould, either stored at Apecs for current orders or retained at your own premises.
A separate service, this will be charged at mould purchase price, currently Aust. $15 per mould. This is additional to the moulding fee of Aust. $18.
Note: Where moulds have been used for previous orders over a number of years prior to mould ownership request, a discounted mould purchase price may be negotiated. In all instances it is Apecs intention to facilitate your retention of your styles.
