Copper 3D Printing Service

Copper 3D Printing Wax Casting is a manufacturing process that combines high-resolution wax 3D printing with traditional lost-wax investment casting. A wax model is printed first, then used to create a mold into which molten copper is poured. This method allows for complex geometries, fine surface detail, and solid metal parts that cannot be achieved through direct metal printing alone.

The finished parts are made from 100% solid copper. Copper is valued for its thermal and electrical conductivity, durability, and distinctive appearance. Over time, the surface naturally oxidizes, forming a protective patina that may range from brown to blue or green depending on the environment.

Lost-wax casting is well suited for intricate and detailed designs. Fine features, smooth curves, and complex shapes can be accurately reproduced from the wax model. This makes the process ideal for functional components, artistic pieces, and decorative parts that require a high-quality finish.

Exterior and well-reachable surfaces are polished to create a smooth, refined appearance. However, internal cavities or tight spaces that are not accessible during post-processing may retain a natural cast texture. Minor surface variations are normal and part of the casting process.
