Jet-Wax Releases 2nd Generation Materials

Jet-Wax Laboratories is pleased to announce the release of our 2nd generation of Build and Support materials for use in all types of Solidscape 3D printers.

New Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT have superior performance characteristics to Solidscape's Indura material system. The advantages of include:

Jet-Wax SUPPORT has superior adhesion to build material, significantly less curl and thermal expansion. There is no lower-surface chipping or cracking of delicate features when de-waxing.
Jet-Wax BUILD is stronger and tougher than InduraCast, resulting in less breakages.
Jet-Wax SUPPORT now has a higher softening temperature for improved cutting in warmer environments without the need for air conditioning.

Q: What is Jet-Wax?
A: Jet-Wax is a material system for building parts on Solidscape 3D printers comprising a build material (Jet-Wax BUILD) and a support material (Jet-Wax SUPPORT). Both materials are non-toxic.
Q: Can Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT materials be used in all Solidscape 3D printers?
A: Yes, Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT are 100% compatible with all Solidscape 3D printers including ModelMaker 6 Pro, ModelMaker II, PatternMaster, T66 & T612 (including Benchtop models), R66, and T76.
Q: Can I mix Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT with Solidscape build and support materials, or do I need to purge my tanks?
A: Jet-Wax BUILD is fully compatible with all Solidscape build materials including InduraCast, BlueCast, BlueCast2 and ProtoBuild. Jet-Wax SUPPORT is fully compatible with Solidscape InduraFill and ProtoSupport. Mixing support materials can result in a material which is softer than either material on its own. For best results we strongly recommend running your support tank low before adding Jet-Wax SUPPORT.
Q: At what temperature should I operate my build jet when using Jet-Wax BUILD?
A: Jet-Wax BUILD is ideally jetted at between 120°C and 125°C. This is the same temperature as for Solidscape's InduraCast material.
Q: At what temperature should I operate my support jet when using Jet-Wax SUPPORT?
A: Jet-Wax SUPPORT is ideally jetted at 110°C. This is the same temperature as for Solidscape's InduraFill material.
Q: Can Jet-Wax BUILD parts be investment cast?
A: Yes, Jet-Wax BUILD is ideal for investment casting, the material autoclaves leaving no ash or residue. Its low melting point reduces the likelihood of thermal expansion cracking of the investment material.
Q: Can Jet-Wax BUILD parts be used in RTV molds?
A: Yes.
Q: Can parts be glued together?
A: Yes. Super-glue or clear nail polish are suitable adhesives.
Q: Can parts be cast in platinum and titanium?
A: Yes.
Q: Are Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT available in different colors?
A: Yes. Blue is standard. Other colors can be produced upon request. Please ask us if you require a custom color to differentiate your waxes.
Q: How can I purchase Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT?
A: You can purchase Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT from this website using our Paypal check-out. Visit the "BUY ON-LINE" tab at the top of this page.
Q: Can I achieve the same part quality using Jet-Wax materials?
A: Yes, Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT allow Solidscape machines to print parts to their full resolution capabilities.
Q: I recall having quality issues with the downward-facing surfaces of models when building parts with ProtoBuild. Does Jet-Wax BUILD suffer from such problems?
A: Many users of the original Solidscape ProtoBuild material will remember that downward facing surfaces would sometimes be rough and chipped. This was caused by poor adhesion between ProtoBuild and the support material. This could be improved sometimes by tilting the part at 10 degrees, but it was not a satisfactory solution. Jet-Wax BUILD has been extensively tested and we are pleased to say that Jet-Wax BUILD does not suffer from this issue. In fact, Jet-Wax BUILD has excellent anti-curl properties and excellent adhesion to support materials. Large flat areas can be printed without fear of rough downward-facing surfaces.
Q: What is the price of Jet-Wax BUILD and Jet-Wax SUPPORT?
A: Jet-Wax BUILD is US$75 for a 500mL (14.5oz/411g) bottle. Jet-Wax SUPPORT is US$70 for a 500mL (11.5oz/316g) bottle. These are the same size bottles and quantities that Solidscape material is normally supplied in.
Q: What forms of payment are accepted?
A: We accept PayPal for secure on-line transactions.
