Intermediary model

Definition

Replica in wax obtained from the reusable mold of an original model. Inter-models are used in indirect lost-wax casting. Inter-models are often slush-molded (Fig.785 and Case study 7). One inter-model may vary from another through additions or changes made in the wax before the investment is applied.
