- Core Similarities

• Print resolution & layer thicknessBoth models deliver ultra-fine quality: 2900 × 2900 × 1700 DPI, with a 15 µm layer thickness
• Dimensional accuracy±0.04 mm over 20 mm—ideal for intricate jewelry components

- Flashforge WJ530 and WaxJet 510 are both high-precision MJP (MultiJet Printing) wax 3D printers tailored for jewelry manufacturing, but they differ significantly in performance and features:

• The WJ530 features a three-synchronized printhead setup, enabling significantly faster printing speeds compared to the WaxJet 510's single-head system.
  
• With speeds up to 6.35 mm/h, the WJ530 is approximately 25–50% faster than the WaxJet 510, which typically prints at 4–5 mm/h.
  
• The WJ530 supports a monthly output of around 12 kg of wax models, making it more suitable for high-volume production environments, while the WaxJet 510 is more geared toward lower-volume runs.
  
• Thanks to its improved wax circulation system, the WJ530 achieves a material utilization rate of 58–60%, reducing waste and lowering per-model cost. In contrast, the WaxJet 510’s yield is around 40–45%.
• Build Volume: The WJ530 offers a larger build volume of 289 × 208 × 150 mm, suitable for higher throughput and printing more models per batch. In contrast, the WaxJet 510 has a smaller build area of 289 × 208 × 100 mm, making it more appropriate for smaller production runs.
  
• The WJ530 includes Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in 2K HD camera for real-time remote monitoring—features not available on the WaxJet 510.
  
• The WJ530 is equipped with auto-repair algorithms and next-generation wax circulation systems, further optimizing workflow and reliability, while the WaxJet 510 maintains standard print control systems.

The WJ530’s core selling points lie in its high-speed printing, high throughput, superior material efficiency, and smart operation system. Equipped with a triple synchronized printhead setup, it significantly boosts print speed while maintaining fine detail and dimensional accuracy—ideal for large-batch production.

Its built-in 2K HD camera and Wi-Fi connectivity enable real-time remote monitoring, making it easier to manage production remotely and reduce downtime. Additionally, the high wax utilization rate minimizes material waste and lowers operating costs. These features make the WJ530 especially suitable for mid-to-large scale jewelry manufacturers or 3D printing service providers seeking speed, precision, and cost-effectiveness.

The WJ530 uses red wax as the model material and white wax as the support material. The red wax used in the WJ530 is specially formulated by Flashforge to offer greater toughness and flexibility, making it more suitable for complex or delicate jewelry designs that require higher durability during handling and post-processing.

In contrast, the WJ510 uses purple wax as the model material and the white wax for support. The purple wax is optimized for high precision and smooth surface finish but is less flexible than the red wax used in the WJ530.

Because of the differences in wax formulations—particularly in model materials—the wax materials between the WJ530 and WJ510 are not cross-compatible. Each printer requires its designated wax to ensure proper jetting performance, material behavior, and casting results.

When running continuously 24/7 for 30 days, a single WJ530 can produce 10–12 kilograms of red wax models per month.

The WJ530 offers an ultra-high printing resolution of 2900 × 2900 × 1700 DPI with a minimum layer thickness of 15 microns. The maximum build size is 289 × 208 × 150 mm.

The 3D wax printer for casting enables digitalization at the critical wax pattern production stage, transforming the traditional lost-wax casting workflow into a fully digital process. Jewelers design pieces using CAD software, then use the 3D printer for jewellery making to directly produce wax patterns with exceptional precision and surface quality. This approach—known as 3D wax printing for jewelry—eliminates manual carving and mold-making, speeds up prototyping, allows for intricate geometry, ensures clean burnout, and supports efficient iteration with consistent batch-quality

Wax 3D printing is generally preferred for jewelry casting because it delivers clean burnout, no ash, and consistent results—ideal for mass production. Resin printing, using a jewelry casting resin 3D printer, offers excellent detail and fast prototyping but may require careful burnout schedules to avoid residue. Wax is best for precision casting; resin is great for rapid design iteration.
