SOME INFOMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL
3D printing with wax is used to create a precise 3D mold out of a 3D file thanks to the 3D lost wax casting technique. 3D Lost wax casting (or investment casting) is a production process.
The wax 3D printing process begins with a 3D model being created in a computer aided design (CAD) program. Once the 3D model is complete, it is then exported to a 3D printer. The 3D printer then creates a physical model of the design out of wax.
After the wax model is created, it is then placed in a mold. The mold is then filled with a investment material. The investment material hardens around the wax model.
Once the investment material has hardened, the mold is then placed in a furnace. The wax model is then melted out of the mold, leaving a hollow space in the shape of the original 3D model.
The molten metal is then poured into the mold. The metal then takes the shape of the original 3D model. After the metal has cooled, the mold is then broken away, revealing the final casting.
You can print wax models using a few different 3D printing technologies. Professional 3D printing services generally use a type of material jetting, but wax-like models can also be made on a classic FDM 3D printer. When using a material jetting 3D printer, the wax is usually put in a tank where it's heated
