Flashforge WaxJet 3d printer Boosts Precision Casting Training
Introduction to Digital Precision Casting Education
As smart manufacturing and digital technologies advance, precision casting has become a key part of high-end manufacturing. This high-end manufacturing sector now places greater demands on the quality of technical talent, particularly in practical skills and innovative thinking. To better cultivate such talent, universities and vocational schools are actively seeking smarter, more precise, and more practical teaching equipment.
Flashforge, a leading provider of 3D printing education solutions in China, is helping meet this demand. Its advanced equipment and complete training solutions bring additive manufacturing into classrooms, supporting closer collaboration between schools and industry and helping develop skilled technical talent for the future.
The WaxJet 400 and 510 are ideal partners for precision casting education, especially in jewelry pattern printing. Traditional casting training often involves complex wax model production, long lead times, and limited accuracy—challenges that make it hard to meet today’s demands for efficiency and precision. With its fast printing speed, excellent detail reproduction, and user-friendly operation, the Flashforge WaxJet series is transforming the precision casting classroom. The following sections outline the key advantages of our equipment in educational settings.
Fast Printing, Faster Learning
The WaxJet series 3d printer is equipped with Flashforge’s proprietary print heads and spacious build platforms, allowing multiple high-precision wax models to be produced quickly. For instance, the WaxJet 510 offers a maximum build volume of 289 × 208 × 100 mm and supports a “same-day modeling and molding” process. This capability greatly improves the pace of hands-on training, giving students a more direct and efficient learning experience.
Ultra-High Precision for Complex Details
The Flashforge WaxJet 510 wax 3D printer delivers an impressive resolution of up to 2900 × 2900 × 1700 dpi with a 15 µm layer thickness, enabling highly detailed reproduction of complex geometries and fine textures. This level of precision meets the strict requirements of precision casting education, capturing every subtle aspect of the modeling process. From intricate jewelry patterns to the internal channels of aerospace components, the printer accurately renders each detail, helping students develop a deep understanding of fine craftsmanship and enhance their professional skills.

Cost-Effective and Easy to Use
The WaxJet series optimizes material usage, significantly reducing the amount of wax and support material needed and easing material costs for schools. Its companion software, WaxJetPrint, supports remote control and automated workflows with an intuitive, user-friendly interface, allowing even beginners to get started quickly. This truly enables a “teaching made easy, learning made confident” experience.
Bridging Industry and Practice
The WaxJet series is designed to align closely with industry workflows in jewelry, precision machinery, and aerospace, providing students with a highly realistic industrial training environment. The WaxJet 400 supports multi-head simultaneous printing, allowing students to simulate small-batch production processes. This helps them develop a systematic understanding from design to manufacturing, enhancing their readiness for future careers.
