DEARBORN, Mich.

EnvisionTEC, the originator of the first DLP based 3D printer, the Perfactory®, is proud to announce another first from its innovative engineering team. The Perfactory® WaxEra™, the first DLP printer that can print light curable paste as an alternative to liquid based polymers will be unveiled today at the JCK show, the largest jewelry show in North America. The first material the WaxEra™ will run is E-Wax, a new wax paste with a photosensitive polymer binder designed for jewelry investment casting. The quality and resolution of the parts 3D printed using E-Wax paste rivals those that have been 3D printed using liquid photopolymer materials on the EnvisionTEC Perfactory® equipment.
