*Material properties may vary based on part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Data was obtained from green parts, printed using Form 2, Castable 50 μm Fine Detail settings and washed without post-cure.
Post-Processing
Form Wash Settings
Wash Castable parts for the shortest time necessary to remove liquid resin. Ensure that all solvent has evaporated or been removed from the parts before curing and casting.
Settings: Form Wash | Form Wash L
Form Cure Settings
Castable Wax Resin does not require post-curing. Allow parts to fully dry before casting. While post-curing Castable Wax parts should not affect castability, post-curing may shrink parts slightly, by less than 1%, which can cause distortion.

Good team, striving to push UK Additive forward
“Olly, Martin, Jake and Martin have all been hugely supportive since our entry into larger scale 3D print last year, and continue to be so. Helpful in their initial advice, supportive since then to help us grow, and as a team they are actively pushing the limits to develop the large format in the UK. And always good to chat to as well!”
Excellent Supplier
“We have been working with Evo3D for about 6 months now and they have been an excellent resource and support to the business I work for. They have worked with us in all sorts of ways to get around any limitations and have supported our projects excellently”
