RESIN FormFutura LCD Castable Wax 500g

Our Castable Wax Resin is a highly accurate blue wax-based casting resin. It is designed to be used for direct investment casting parts for dental, jewellery and industrial applications. The wax component in this 3D printing resin offers a clean ash-free burnout. Furthermore it has an extremely low expansion factor. This ensures the wax filler to melt and shrink away from the mould without expanding, and by that protecting fragile investment moulds.

This wax-based castable 3D printing resin has an exceptionally low shrinkage factor. You’re also able to print parts with smooth surfaces and incredibly fine detail. The Castable LCD Resin – Castable Wax has been tested extensively and validated by both dental technicians and jewellers.
Key Features:

    Ash-free burnout
    Low expansion factor
    High dimensional accuracy with low shrinkage factor
    Smooth services with incredibly fine detail
    Almost odorless processing
    Compatible with all open-source SLA, DLP, and LCD 3D printers in the range of 385 – 405nm

 
Applications:

    Dental molds
    Jewelry molds
    Industrial molds

Preparation(s) before starting to print

    Make sure that the resin is at room temperature (22°C +/- 1°C) before use
    The wax component in the resin makes the resin more viscous at lower temperatures.
    Below 16°C the resin solidifies too much and gets too viscous for good 3D printing results
    Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use.
    After shaking the bottle, leave the resin to rest for 10 minutes to let air bubbles get out of the resin
    The resin can be poured back from the vat into the bottle once your print is finished
    Always use protective measurements like safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling resins.

    Post-Processing:
        We do advise you to post-process your 3D print in order to achieve the material properties
        Rinse your 3D printed object in IPA or (Bio)Ethanol for approximately 5 minutes
        An ultrasonic cleaner is preferred/recommended
        Make sure that IPA and/or (Bio)Ethanol rinsed objects are perfectly dry before further post-curing
        Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use pressurized air for at least 2 minutes
        Cure your object in a high power curing chamber for approximately 20-30 minutes at 65° C
        The preferred curing wavelength is between 300-410nm
     
    Safety:

    Please always be aware that when 3D printing with resins that you are working with chemicals and that you should always be cautious and use the personal protective equipment as stipulated in our safety data sheets.
        Always wear Respiratory Protection when sanding/cutting the resin object.
        Always use nitrile gloves when handling resins and uncured resin objects.
