Kai Parthy, well known filament material developer, has a new product named MOLDLAY which is a thermoplastic filament with properties similar to wax. It can be used for two casting techniques: lost mold (lost wax casting) or permanent mold casting.Lost PLA casting is well known method and you can use microwave oven lost PLA casting, but MOLDLAY can be melted in a common baking oven due to its low melting point and wax like properties.
Here are the key features and technical data:
- superior dimensional stability
- tiff, rigid at room temperature
- near zero warp
- printable without heated bed
- print at 170 – 180° C,
- heated bed max. 40°C,
- melting temperature ~ 270°C
- the molten wax flows freely out the mold, similar to liquid paraffin
- price: unknown
- contact for dealers: kp@cc-products.de
Here is a video showing the entire process of lost wax casting with MOLDLAY:
