Lost wax, or investment casting, is one of the oldest methods for casting items from metal. Basically, a wax model is made and then it is surrounded (invested) with clay or plaster. This is then heated to melt out and burn away the wax, leaving a cavity that is the exact shape of the original model. The wax is lost, thus the term lost wax.

It has been around for at least 5000 years.
