SOME INFOMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL

This 3D printed copper is 100% copper formed through a lost wax casting process. It has a red-orange color that oxidizes over time turning the surface a darker brown, blue, or greenish color depending on the environment. Each copper part is 3D printed in a wax material which is used to create a mold for investment casting. Lost wax casting is capable of showcasing intricate details, offering a professional, finished look and feel that oxidizes over time creating a corrosion resistant boundary layer on the surface of the part. This makes the part resistant to water, air, and other environmental factors while maintaining a beautiful, rustic aesthetic.

Copper has two challenging properties: it's highly reflective and it transmits heat and electricity very well. The heat transfer causes difficulties in the build chamber, which must be maintained at very precise temperatures to ensure successful metal 3D prints
