EKA Direct Castable Resin - Mango Yellow - 1 KG

Optimal print settings vary by printer model. Start with exposure times between 2-4 seconds on mono LCDs and 8-12 seconds on RGB LCDs at 405nm. For best results, ensure the resin is preheated to 37°C, especially with printers lacking internal heating. Always perform calibration prints to fine-tune.

After printing, thoroughly wash parts in IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) for 3-5 minutes, ensuring all uncured resin is removed. Air dry or use compressed air. A brief post-cure under UV light (e.g., 405nm, 10-20 minutes) is recommended to enhance green strength before investing and casting.

A slow, controlled burnout schedule is crucial for clean ash-free casting. Follow standard investment casting procedures, gradually ramping up temperature. Typical schedules involve holding at 150-250°C for 2-4 hours, then ramping to 700-750°C and holding for 2-4 hours before dropping to casting temperature. Consult your investment powder manufacturer's guidelines.

Yes, EKA Direct Castable Resin is specifically formulated for direct investment casting, which is a modern variation of the lost-wax casting process. Its clean burnout properties ensure that the resin completely vaporizes at high temperatures, leaving behind a pristine cavity for metal pouring without ash or residue.

Castable resins offer superior detail resolution, enabling intricate designs impractical with wax. They also facilitate faster design iterations and direct digital fabrication, reducing manual labor. The consistent material properties of resin patterns can lead to more reliable and repeatable casting results for complex geometries.
