Material
Red wax is a castable 3D printing material. We print fine patterns you can cast straight into metal.
Overview
Red wax is a castable 3D printing material. We print fine patterns you can cast straight into metal.
Red wax is a special castable resin. 3D printing builds it into highly detailed patterns that burn out cleanly, so you can cast them into metal by the lost-wax method.
We build parts layer by layer from your digital file, with no tooling needed.
Shapes that are hard or impossible to machine or mold, ready in days.
Specifications
Typical reference values for Red Wax (Castable) through 3D printing. Final numbers can vary with grade and part shape.
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Material type | Red Wax (Castable resin) |
| Manufacturing process | 3D Printing (SLA) |
| Density | ~1.0 g/cm³ |
| Tensile strength | Low (pattern only) |
| Service temperature | up to 60 °C |
| Standard finishes | As printed, polishing |
Values are typical reference data and may vary with grade, heat treatment, and part geometry. Tell us your needs and we will confirm exact specs.
Why Red

Leaves almost no ash when cast.
Little finishing needed.
Cast into gold, silver, or steel.
Material Options
We stock common grades. Tell us your need and we will pick the right one.
Balanced detail and burnout.
Finest features for jewelry.
Stronger masters for larger casts.
How It Works
From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.
Upload your STEP or STL file. Get a quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.
Our engineers check wall thickness, overhangs, and supports. We suggest changes that cut cost and improve quality.
We print your part layer by layer with metal (SLM/DMLS) or plastic (SLS/MJF) technology.
We remove supports, then heat-treat, surface-finish, or color the part as needed.
We measure and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide with full tracking.
Applications
Rings, pendants, and settings.
Crowns and precise models.
Detailed figurines and masters.
Patterns for metal casting.
Design Tips
New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.
Keep walls thick enough to print and stay strong. Very thin walls may fail or warp.
Overhangs and bridges need supports. Design to reduce them and cut cost.
Tight tolerances cost more. Only specify them where the function needs them.
Finishes
The natural layered surface. Fastest and lowest cost.
A uniform matte finish that softens layer lines.
A smoother, brighter surface for looks or function.
Color or coating for metal or nylon parts.
Why YiguProto
We are a dedicated factory for 3D printing. Every file is reviewed by engineers before production. Every part is inspected before shipping. Your designs stay private with us.
