Ceramic Shell Casting with Resin 3D-Printed Patterns

Ceramic shell casting is a manufacturing technique prized for producing metal parts with exceptional detail, fine surface finish, and complex geometries. Traditionally, this process relied on injecting wax into a custom-made metal mold (tooling) to create the sacrificial pattern. The advent of resin 3D printing has revolutionized the first step, allowing manufacturers to skip expensive tooling [...]

Contact Angle: Theory and Application to resin 3D-printed parts

The contact angle is a fundamental measure of surface wettability—the tendency of a liquid to spread on or adhere to a solid surface. It is defined as the angle, measured through the liquid, at the point where the liquid-vapor interface meets the solid surface. This angle provides crucial insight into the surface energy and the [...]

Comparing Liqcreate Bio-Med Clear and Formlabs BioMed Clear

The medical and healthcare industries rely heavily on biocompatible 3D printing materials for everything from surgical guides and patient-specific models to end-use devices. Two leading transparent, rigid, and biocompatible resins in the market are Liqcreate Bio-Med Clear and Formlabs BioMed Clear. While both resins achieve the core goal—producing non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing parts—their differing features, certifications, and [...]
