Description
Premium Quality Machinable Wax:Machinable wax is an extremely hard wax that has been formulated to deliver exceptional machining properties including high resolution detail. Since it is harder and has a higher melting temperature than most other waxes, machinable wax can be machined, cut, or shaped using standard metalworking or woodworking equipment. High quality surface detail and dimensional accuracy are possible. Machinable wax is ideal for verifying CNC machining programs. Machinable wax is often used for precision lost wax casting. Machinable Wax is available in both blocks and cylinders. We stock the most commonly requested sizes and can usually provide alternate sizes on request.
Typical applications include:
Prototyping
Dental CAD/CAM
Jewelry Manufacturing
Precision Lost Wax Casting
Used as a bolus/compensator for electron or proton therapy
Mold making
Manufacture of turbines and pump impellers
Machinable wax offers distinct advantages over other prototyping materials for some applications. The product is environmentally friendly and the shavings produce no harmful dust or hazardous odors. The material is self-lubricating and easy on tooling.
Machinable wax can be recycled
The shavings and unused pieces of material can be re-melted and formed back into useable material. This attribute can substantially reduce the cost of using machinable wax over other materials.
