Casting and Burnout Cycle for PowerCast Castable Resins

Process of washing, drying before casting

  • Wash your prints with ethyl alcohol (ethanol) – you can use 96% ethyl alcohol
    • The best way is to wash first 2-3 times by spraying ethyl alcohol and blowing dry air with a compressor.
    • Do not leave the prints inside alcohol for a long time as this may increase the shrinkage of your prints afterwards.
    • Do not use isopropyl alcohol as it is more reactive. Ethyl alcohol would be much better to clean without reacting with the resin.
  • There is no need to carry out UV curing before casting.

Print Settings

First, change the Material group to External, and then select the POWER RESINS POWERCAST OPAQUE from the drop-down list.

Next, set the Layer thickness with which you are going to print your model. This parameter determines the height of each layer. Finer layers provide better surface quality but make the printing process more time-consuming.
