Prints today, burns out clean tomorrow — the pattern resin for casting.
KS168C is Kings' castable SLA resin: a pattern material that burns out cleanly for investment casting, capturing filigree-level detail for jewellery and small intricate metal castings. It is a pattern material only — never a finished part — and should be handled gently before casting.
Castable resin is used to grow burn-out patterns for investment casting — most commonly jewellery, dental work and small precision metal parts cast from a printed master.
Very fine detail off the printer as a casting pattern; not intended as a finished-part surface.
A casting pattern material, not a finished-part colour.
Lead times are indicative and start from order confirmation. Actual turnaround varies model by model, depending on part geometry, print time, quantity and shipping location.
