Cutting Wax Cutting wax, also known as engraving wax or modeling wax, is a specialized material used in laser engraving and machining processes for creating prototypes, molds, and intricate designs. Made from a blend of natural and synthetic waxes, cutting wax possesses a smooth and malleable consistency that allows it to be easily sculpted or engraved with precision. When subjected to laser energy, cutting wax melts and vaporizes cleanly, leaving behind smooth edges and fine details in the engraved surface. It is commonly used in jewelry making, dental applications, and industrial prototyping.
Cutting wax is prized for its versatility, used not only in laser engraving but also in traditional machining processes such as milling and carving due to its ease of workability and precise detailing capabilities. Its ability to cleanly melt and vaporize under laser energy makes it a preferred material for prototyping intricate designs in industries ranging from jewelry making to aerospace engineering. |
