Castable Resin or Castable Wax?
Both print types can be cast in precious metal using the Lost-Wax process. Which one is right for your piece depends on geometry, level of detail, desired surface as well as lead time and budget.
| Castable Resin | Castable Wax | |
|---|---|---|
| Process | UV-curing photopolymer print with wax content | Thermoplastic wax printing. Classic process of the jewelry industry. |
| Detail resolution | Very high. Sharp edges, finest structures, precise even with complex geometries. | Very high. Finest layers, very smooth surface. |
| Suitable for | Filigree pieces, complex geometries, Pavé settings, prototypes, fitting models | Classic jewelry pieces, highest surface quality, master models |
| Lead time | Faster | Slightly longer |
| Print cost | Tends to be cheaper | Tends to be higher |
Which print type for which piece?
Choose Castable Wax
- For classic jewelry pieces such as band rings, signet rings or pendants with large, smooth surfaces
- When highest surface quality and mirror finish are desired
- For high-end final pieces and collector's items
- For master models used for rubber mold duplication
Choose Castable Resin
- For filigree or geometrically complex pieces (Pavé settings, fine textures, branched structures)
- For prototypes, fitting models or customer approvals before final production
- When fast delivery is important
- When a lower price is the priority
