What is the Difference between Resin and Solidscape Waxes?Resin: This is a very durable material great for mold making. Printing speed is almost 4 times faster than the solids-cape printing. Great for printing large pieces making it more cost efficient. This material requires extra support to print. Solidscape: Even though this material is more fragile it is great for casting especially platinum. Great for designs with engraving and letters. If you need a mold we can make a clear mold but once mold is made the wax is lost. With this material no need to build supports to print the design.
