The apparatus comprises an expandable investment ring having a removable base. Formed on the top surface of the base, and within the void defined by the ring, is an indexed sprue former. A curved runner bar having an indexed coping is formed at one end thereof in mating relation to the sprue former. The curved full arch runner bar comprises a proximal end portion and distal end portion with the distal end forming a first and second curved configuration portion which together approximates the curved configuration of the jawbone of a patient. The first and second curved configuration portions are interconnected thereby resulting in extremely accurate full arch base metal castings. The apparatus is also useful for preparing precious metal castings.
