What is 3D Precious Metal Printing?

Precious metal casting is a manufacturing process that shapes metal into detailed and intricate designs difficult to achieve by hand. The design file is 3D printed in wax, then we use the ‘tree’ casting method where multiple wax models attach to a central stem that is encased in a mould. After melting the wax, molten metal fills all cavities, creating several casts at once. Once cooled, each cast is separated and finished.
