Looking for a wax printer that will print low fusing wax that can be boiled out. Has anyone seen such an animal?
Off the shelf? Nope. If you are seriously nerd you might be able to build one, but thermal management for a soft wax is a huge headache.Looking for a wax printer that will print low fusing wax that can be boiled out. Has anyone seen such an animal?
Consistency is a fickle mistress.You are on track for sure. Couple of reasons to go this way. 1) The Digital denture format of a white tryin denture is hated by every doc I have talked to about it. Patients want to see the real teeth for goodness sake. 2) Training a new tech to carve wax for a denture is very time consuming.
If we can find a way to print the base out of some material that can be removed from a flask mold by conventional means then processed with conventional acrylic now that will be a winning combination. If you think about it a base that is designed on a computer will be much better than a hand fabricated wax base for many reasons but number one will be consistency the holy grail.
Did you have the grape pistols?I’d like to be able to print wax lips or those little wax soda bottles full of Kool aid type stuff. That’s the gold standard.
