The cost of the material can be higher, but usually the quantities are relatively small.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-deaacf6f6299c7e65905c74f04643c0a\" id=\"&#x5E1;&#x5D9;&#x5DB;&#x5D5;&#x5DD;\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-abef9f51a8dc67acd0c34ce67ef5894b wp-block-paragraph\">The MJP WaxJet stands out as an efficient and focused solution for users who need accurate wax models at high speed and low cost. In contrast, regular resin printing offers greater flexibility. The choice depends on your specific application \u2013 whether you are an industrial designer or a hobbyist, regular resin printing will often suffice \u2013 and the WaxJet is proving itself to be a leader in precision casting for foundries and jewelers or any heavy industrial user who consumes over 3 kg of wax per month.  <br\/>Another advantage of WaxJet is that supports dissolve in alcohol. There is no need for delicate cutting or fear that the ring will break, and of course there are no remnants of supports that would require additional finishing processes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-2ae642bdd463e6cca74f5d5e0c6ac226 wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"115\" class=\"wp-image-20079\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/beyond3d.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1x_13707b02-9be6-43ea-83c9-f8854d2d9290.webp\" alt=\"MJP WAXJET 510 Printing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beyond3d.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1x_13707b02-9be6-43ea-83c9-f8854d2d9290.webp 736w, https:\/\/beyond3d.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/6_1x_13707b02-9be6-43ea-83c9-f8854d2d9290-510x392.webp 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>  Example of printing with WaxJet &#8211; the printing material (wax) is red, alcohol-soluble supports are white.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comparison of different jewelry printing methods MJP vs. MSLA.
