Castable Wax Resin Overview
Printed on an SLA 3D printer, Castable Wax Resin captures precise details, and is perfect for making jewelry. A great material for investment casting, the Castable Wax Resin burns out cleanly without ash or residue being left behind.
Castable Wax Resin is the best choice when printing for the purpose of casting in metals. It allows for easy, inexpensive jewelry prototyping.

Quality (Microns)
This number determines how thin each layer is. The smaller the micron count, the thinner the layer, this results in higher surface detail and better surface finishes.
⭐⭐⭐ Detail Quality - 50 microns
⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Detail Quality - 25 microns
Colors
Material prints as-is, no color options available. Material is naturally dull gray in color.
