Casting Data & Assessment: Refining Filigree Jewelry with Silk Wax Resin and Silver

Casting Data & Assessment: Refining Filigree Jewelry with Silk Wax Resin and Silver

This study (SL-M-W-14) explores advances in filigree jewellery casting using Silk Wax resin and pure silver alloyed with Legor 8F928CH. By refining burnout cycles, adjusting casting temperatures, and introducing Borax to reduce oxidation, the trial achieved cleaner surfaces, sharper details, and greater process reliability. The results confirmed improved surface finishes and stability, providing valuable casting data and assessment for future jewellery production.

Investment Mold Interaction with Castable Resins

The interaction between castable resin and investment molds defines the success of jewelry casting. Poor burnout or resin expansion can cause cracks, ash residue, and surface defects, while controlled resin selection and burnout cycles deliver smoother, more reliable results. By mastering resin–mold behavior, we help jewelers achieve consistent castings with cleaner surfaces, reduced rework, and improved production efficiency.

The Role of Borax in Silver Casting & Understanding Invisible Oxidation

The Role of Borax in Silver Casting & Understanding Invisible Oxidation

Invisible oxidation in silver casting can silently damage quality, even inside controlled systems. We use Borax not just as a flux, but as a barrier that protects molten silver during the entire casting process. From reducing oxides to improving mold fill, this guide explains how Borax supports better results in automated casting setups.

How to Control Peel Forces & Prevent the Vacuum Effect in Resin 3D Printing

How to Control Peel Forces & Prevent the Vacuum Effect in Resin 3D Printing

Peel forces commonly called the vacuum effect, can make or break the success of a resin 3D print. These forces occur as each cured layer detaches from the FEP film, often leading to print failures, surface defects, and worn-out consumables if left unchecked. In this guide, we break down why peel forces happen and share practical methods that we use to minimize them.

45-Degree Tilt Optimizes Resin 3D Printing Quality

Why a 45-Degree Tilt Optimizes Resin 3D Printing Quality

Tilting your 3D model at a 45-degree angle before printing can significantly improve resin print quality. This simple adjustment reduces suction forces, improves support placement, smooths surface finishes, and enhances resin drainage, making prints more accurate and reliable. Whether you're creating fine jewelry, detailed prototypes, or complex miniatures, this method helps prevent print failures and minimizes post-processing.
