Dutch term

invormerij

Dutch to German Tech/Engineering Casting / die-casting
A text about die-casting, among other things with lost-wax methods. The context, while giving no indication of what is done here, does seem to indicate that this is a department in an organization.

Any ideas??

Giesserei (?)

Hi Alexander,

I don't know exactly what 'invormerij' is in German, but it's the place (section,...) where the wax is being poured in moulds (something like die-casting indeed).
De gesmolten en gekleurde was wordt daar in verschillende vormpjes/schaaltjes, potjes, enz gegoten.

'Giesserei' might be suitable.

By the way, I founded a small wax factory years ago for a third party in the Czech Republic; all production steps were at that time situated in one rather large building.

Peer comment(s):

agree Thijs van Dorssen : Wachsgiesserei? 'Giesserei' sounds like the iron is processed here instead of the wax.

Wachsgiesserei: dacht ik ook aan - was je gisteren in Brussel? Kon niet aanwezig zijn wegens sterfgeval in de familie
Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Evert, Giesserei is probably only part of it, but at least your answer got me to "Formgiesserei", which I think comes closer to what they may be talking about."
