At Solidscape we develop and deliver 3D solutions for advanced manufacturing. With our 3D printers and materials customers can create high-precision wax patterns to be cast in metal, to be used for mold making (RTV) or even to be pressed in ceramics for dental restorations. Solidscape's Model is the build material for use in the Solidscape® printers by precision-oriented applications. Model is Solidscape's most durable material ever. This increased durability enables designers to incorporate even more intricate details with thinner walls into their work to produce lighter weight finished products that can meet their pricing strategy. Together with Solidscape's Support automatically generates a structure to protect the part during the build process with the Solidscape® printers for high precision applications. This saves on labor by eliminating the need for CAD designers to configure support structures during the design of new pieces. Once the printing is completed, labor is saved again because the Soliscape's Support material completely dissolves away in a liquid solution, leaving a clean wax part without the need for manual refining. This hands-free process can safely deliver the most delicately featured and intricate wax masters that are immediately ready for investment casting or mold making.
