There are many ways to manufacture a steel bracelet. Most of them are wrong for what we need.
We chose investment casting, a process used in aviation components and high-end watchmaking. A wax model of the bracelet is encased in ceramic, the wax is melted out, and molten 316L steel is poured into the cavity left behind. The result is a piece with the surface quality and precision this design demands.
Finding the right manufacturing location took time. We spoke with many factoryspaces before choosing one that specializes in 316L stainless steel investment casting, at the level of precision we require.
When you hold your bracelet, you will understand why this method was the only option.
