Solidscape T612BT model – a device to make high-accuracy patterns from wax compositions

Casting from lost wax patterns has been known and widely used in foundries since many thousand years. At present, patterns of this type are moulded in dies made of metal, resin, silicone rubber, etc. Sometimes, to solve the problems of market demand, it is necessary to reproduce the wax pattern from a 3D drawing, and then CAD systems for wax pattern manufacture are used.

A device of this type is the 3D T612BT wax printer made by SOLIDSCAPE. It ensures high accuracy and precision of the pattern fabrication in all available techniques of the rapid prototyping. The ready wax prototypes are next used in the manufacture of ceramic moulds and investment castings.

• Controlled thickness of vertically deposited layers (axis "Z") - from 0,0127 to 0,127 mm,
