Printed Casting

Lost-wax casting is a method that jewelers use to cast metal sculptures from an original nonmetal model. The way the process normally works is as follows: 1.A positive model is made from a castable substance like clay or wax.

2.A negative is made by making a mold of the model from a flexible material like silicone or rubber.

3.The model is removed from the mold, and the mold can be reused to make replicas.

4.A second ceramic mold is made, and the molds are sprued, burned, and treated in preparation for the metal (I will not go into these steps, but there are many instructions available on the internet if you search for “lost-wax molding”). Finally, hot metal is poured into the cast, creating a metal positive when it cools.
