What your casting engineer actually checks
Resolution you can cast
At 2900 DPI and 15 µm layers, the WaxJet 530 resolves prongs, pavé seats, and dental margins — then burns out clean at under 0.01% ash. Pattern accuracy is ±0.04 mm / 20 mm, so what you model is what you cast, lot after lot.

The Flashforge WaxJet 530 is a triple-printhead wax jetting (MultiJet / MJP) 3D printer that prints 100% castable wax patterns for lost-wax investment casting — jewelry, dental, and precision small parts. Three synchronized piezoelectric printheads lay down 15 µm layers at 2900 × 2900 × 1700 DPI across an 11.4 × 8.2 × 5.9 in / 289 × 208 × 150 mm plate, so a single machine can turn out up to 12 kg of patterns a month running around the clock.
What Is the WaxJet 530: Wax Jetting for Investment-Casting Patterns
The WaxJet 530 is a production wax 3D printer built for casting bureaus. Instead of curing resin, it jets molten casting wax layer by layer and prints a separate dissolvable support wax, so finished patterns are true wax — they burn out clean in a standard investment flask with no ash-forming residue. It targets high-mix, high-volume jewelry and dental casting where fine detail, repeatable dimensions, and hands-off support removal decide throughput. See full specifications below.
Why casting bureaus choose the WaxJet 530
Detail, throughput, and burnout behavior — the things a casting operation actually measures.
2900 DPI, 15 µm layers
Resolves prongs, filigree, pavé seats, engraving, and dental margins that lower-resolution wax printers blur.
Triple-printhead throughput
Three synchronized piezoelectric heads sustain up to 12 kg of wax patterns per month running 24/7.
±0.04 mm / 20 mm accuracy
Tight, repeatable patterns with 0.7% linear shrinkage — sprue, invest, and cast without chasing dimensional drift lot to lot.
Hands-free dissolvable support
White support wax dissolves away in a warm solvent bath — no manual pick-off that nicks delicate patterns, and less finishing labor.
Print Resolution & Pattern Quality
At 2900 × 2900 × 1700 DPI with a 15 µm layer height, the WaxJet 530 holds the surface detail investment casting depends on: sharp stone seats, thin walls, readable text, and clean bezel edges. Dimensional accuracy is stated at ±0.04 mm per 20 mm, with 0.7% linear and 1.1% volumetric shrinkage on the red casting wax — predictable enough to build compensation into your CAD library once and reuse it. Material utilization runs 58–60%, and the printer nests full plates of parts for batch runs rather than one model at a time.
Casting Wax Materials & Burnout Workflow
The WaxJet 530 runs a two-wax system: a red model wax and a white, fully dissolvable support wax.
| Material | Role | Key properties |
|---|---|---|
| Red casting wax (FFWJ1200) | Model / pattern | Melting point 68 °C · softening 63 °C · 0.7% linear / 1.1% volumetric shrinkage · ash content < 0.01% · 3.0 kg/bottle |
| White support wax (FFWS3200) | Dissolvable support | Melting point 55 °C · hands-free removal in a warm solvent bath · 3.6 kg/bottle |
Because both are true waxes with very low ash, patterns go straight into a standard gypsum investment flask and burn out cleanly for lost-wax casting — no resin-style residue or expansion surprises. Additive Plus supplies both waxes and can advise on flask, burnout, and casting parameters.
How we deliver it
Configured, installed, and dialed in for your casting workflow — not drop-shipped in a box.
Configure
We spec the WaxJet 530 with red casting wax and dissolvable support, sized to your bench space, power, and monthly pattern volume.
Install & train
Install, calibrate the three printheads, and train your team on WaxJetPrint nesting plus the dissolve-and-invest workflow.
Validated patterns
Dialed-in profiles for jewelry and dental casting so patterns leave the plate ready to sprue, invest, and cast.
Software, Connectivity & Monitoring
Jobs are prepared in WaxJetPrint (STL and SLC input, Windows 7/10 64-bit) and sent over Ethernet (RJ-45), USB, or Wi-Fi. A built-in 2K HD camera lets operators watch long batch runs remotely, with job history and temperature diagnostics available through the software platform — useful when a machine runs unattended overnight to hit a 12 kg/month cadence.

From casting shops running the WaxJet 530
Unedited feedback from jewelry and dental production teams.
We moved batch casting patterns off resin and onto the WaxJet 530 — burnout is cleaner and our scrap from investment cracking dropped noticeably.
The dissolvable support is the real win. No more picking wax out of pavé seats — patterns come out of the bath ready to sprue.
Three printheads keep it running overnight, and the camera means I can check a plate from home. It hits the volume we need for dental copings.
