Castable LCD Resin - Castable Wax - Formfutura

Castable Wax Resin is a very high-precision, blue-colored, wax-based casting resin. It is designed for direct lost-wax casting and is ideal for dental, goldsmithing and industrial applications.

The waxy component of this 3D printing resin ensures clean burning without ash residue (ash-free burnout). It also has an extremely low expansion factor, which allows the wax filler to melt and shrink from the mold without expanding, thus protecting even the most delicate investment coatings.

This wax-based castable resin also offers exceptionally low shrinkage, enabling the fabrication of parts with smooth surfaces and extremely fine details. Castable LCD Resin - Castable Wax has been extensively tested and validated by professional dental technicians and goldsmiths.

Key Features.

• Residue-free combustion (ash-free burnout)
• Very low expansion factor
• High dimensional accuracy with minimal shrinkage
• Smooth surfaces and extremely fine details
• Nearly odorless printing process
• Compatible with SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printers open source with wavelengths of 385-405 nm

Applications

• Dental molds
• Jewelry molds
• Industrial molds
• Preparation before printing
• Make sure the resin is at room temperature (22 °C ± 1 °C) before use
• The waxy component makes the resin more viscous at low temperatures
• Below 16 °C the resin becomes too solid and viscous, compromising print quality
• Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use
• After shaking, let the resin rest for 10 minutes to allow air bubbles to escape
• After printing is complete, the resin can be poured from the tank into the bottle
• Always use safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling

Post-processing

• To obtain the best material properties, we recommend post-processing:
• Wash the printed object in IPA or (bio)ethanol for about 5 min.
• The use of an ultrasonic cleaner is recommended
• Ensure that the washed objects are completely dry before post-curing
• Allow to dry in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use compressed air for at least 2 minutes
• Cure in a high-power curing chamber for 20-30 minutes at 65 °C
• Recommended wavelength: 300-410 nm

Safety

• 3D printing with resins involves the use of chemicals. Always operate carefully and use the personal protective equipment indicated in the MSDSs.
• Always wear respiratory protection when sanding or cutting resin objects
• Always use nitrile gloves when handling uncured resins or objects
