Compare 3D Printing Materials

Wax materials are a special type of material commonly used in 3D printing, primarily applied in rapid prototyping and precision casting. They offer excellent flowability and moldability, allowing for high-precision detail during the printing process. Red wax, in particular, has a vivid color, usually deep red, hence the name “red wax.” One of its key features is its ability to melt quickly when heated, facilitating subsequent casting processes, making it especially suitable for jewelry, art sculptures, and the manufacture of complex mechanical parts.

In addition, red wax materials have moderate hardness and a smooth surface, requiring minimal post-processing after printing, which helps maintain the accuracy and surface quality of the print. Because it can be melted at high temperatures, it is also commonly used in the “lost wax casting” process, playing a crucial role in precision casting.

PLA is a high-quality, high-performance, and cost-effective 3D printing material, offering excellent layer adhesion and impact resistance, resulting in durable and long-lasting prints. The base series comes in up to 30 colors, ensuring uniform color consistency and stable printing quality. PLA is made from renewable plant-based resources, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable. It is reliable, easy to use, and provides high cost-performance with a wide range of colors, making it an ideal choice for home, education, and industrial printing.
