Integrating Castable Wax 40 Resin In Your Digital Workflow

Compared to the traditional wax carving workflow, the digital 3D printing workflow can significantly save time and costs. Digital design means endless possibilities for jewellery, enabling designers to efficiently create even the most complex models with high accuracy.

Creating digital resin cast designs which are compatible with your caster’s production line means less polishing, less laser welding, fewer rejected designs and test cycles are needed. Furthermore, it is easy to preserve custom designs, which can be modified or recreated as needed. Producing results similar to injection wax, Formlabs Castable Wax 40 Resin and 3D printing make a powerful combination.
