[Jewelry making - Article 00211] - [Orchid] Wax injectors for accurate wax models

    Hello folks,

    I have a question and need some help. I am thinking about having
    metal molds made of some very geometric pieces. I need to check into
    getting mold injection equipment so that I can accurately and
    perfectly make waxes from these metal molds. Is anyone out there
    using this type of technology? do I have to make metal molds to get
    really accurate wax models or is there some sort of hard rubber molds
    that I can use ? I know that old fashioned vulcanized molds won't get
    me what I need.

    I am going to have these molds made from cad generated files. I have
    been making these parts by one offs with my cnc mills and am now
    ready to have the molds made. It takes a long time [for me] to get
    the model to the point where the cost of molds isn't just throwing
    money away on bad parts.

    There is so much technology out there that I know nothing about.

thanks in advance Dennis
