Specific Technique

Printed using a Form 2 SLA printer in Castable wax with a 0.050mm layer height. After printing the models are removed from the printer and washed in IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to remove any excess resin. Unlike other 3D printed resins which require further post curing in a Ultraviolet oven, the wax does not need post curing. Support material can be carefully removed with a pair of small cutters. The wax is hard to the touch and durable enough to survive casual handling. Models should not be stored or displayed in direct sunlight.
