Castable wax is a material used in 3D printing to create intricate wax models that can be used in the casting process. It is typically made from a blend of wax and other materials that provide strength and stability, and is designed to melt away cleanly when heated, leaving behind a precise and accurate mould.
It is commonly used in the jewellery industry, where it is used to create detailed wax models for investment casting. The process involves printing the wax model, which is then coated in a ceramic shell and heated to melt away the wax. The resulting mould is then used to cast the final piece in metal. Castable wax is also used in other industries, such as dentistry, where it is used to create wax models of teeth for crowns, bridges, and other dental prosthetics. It can also be used in engineering and manufacturing to create intricate parts and prototypes.

In terms of 3D printing, castable wax can be printed using a variety of 3D printers, including resin-based printers and filament-based printers. It is important to choose a printer and material that is compatible with the specific wax blend being used, as different blends may have different melting points and properties.
