Sterling Silver

Lost Wax Casting 

Sterling silver is the perfect material for jewelry and unique metal art pieces.

About

Sterling silver is malleable when thin and can be polished for more shine, but with fewer details. It is 3D printed in multiple steps. First, it is 3D printed in a high resolution wax. A mold of liquid plaster is then made using the wax model, and afterwards, that is injection molded.
