Is small-scale investment casting expensive?

December 27, 2009 - 3:08 pm 1 Comment

I have a few parts here that took me some time to machine. If I wanted copies of them (~10 or 20) without having to manually machine some more, could they be investment-cast for at most a few hundred dollars? Or would CNC Machining be a more affordable route?
Size: few inches at most
Material: Stainless steel

The investment cast is going to be over $1,000. But it might be a worthwhile investment if you start to do this in larger quantities than 10-20..
