A: A white wax 3D printer combines a 405 nm light engine (LCD or DLP), a stable build plate, a vat system and matched white wax resin. Key specs include 38-50 µm X/Y resolution, adjustable Z layers of 10-25 µm, and clean burnout for investment casting.
A: White wax patterns show surface defects and support marks far better than dark resins under magnification. This makes QC easier and helps jewelers catch flaws before investing, reducing casting rejects.
A: Look for 38-50 µm X/Y precision and 10-25 µm adjustable Z layers for jewelry. Higher resolution captures filigree and stone seats; larger beds trade a little resolution for more rings per run.
A: The machine prints patterns; those patterns are then invested and burned out, and metal is cast into the empty mold. The white wax resin itself is designed to vanish cleanly during burnout.
A: For rings and small jewelry a 96 x 54 x 100 mm class bed is enough; production houses benefit from larger beds such as 146 x 82 x 200 mm to nest multiple trees and lower labor per piece.
