Xaar’s Nitrox Print Heat Lets ZCZH 3D Print Wax for Casting

Xaar has been quietly enabling more and more 3D printing firms to use novel materials and processes through its print heads. The company provides application support and knowledge to unlock new ways of depositing material accurately. Rather than sell a plethora of devices using its print heads, Xaar wants to enable others. Its Nitrox heads are high-laydown heads that let you use a lot of materials in them due to the higher viscosities of its Ultra High Viscosity tech. With 1,000 nozzles in a 70mm head, they are designed to be reliable and used in a wide array of industrial applications.

Now Chinese firm ZCZH is using them to make a wax jetting system for casting. 3D Systems MJP heads are already used for this, as is Flashforge’s WaxJet solution. This brings some competition to the wax cas
