Wax Injection

Wax Injection

Jewellery wax injection machines are used to create wax patterns that replicate the fine detail of your original model—ready for investing and casting. These are essential for any production-focused setup working with casting wax. They’re commonly used in studios handling gemstones, jump rings, bails, clasps, and other small jewellery making items. Injection systems work seamlessly with a wide variety of moulds, allowing jewellers to produce duplicates for necklaces, rings, beads, or gemstone gem settings with repeatable accuracy. You’ll often see them paired with kilns, crucibles, mandrels, calipers, and other jewellery tools.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What temperature should wax be for injection?

Most jewellery casting wax is injected at 65°C to 75°C, but this depends on the wax formula and mould detail. Adjustable temperature control is key.

2. What type of wax is best for fine detail?

Low-shrinkage, medium-firm casting wax is ideal for high-detail applications, especially when replicating designs for jump rings, clasps, or stone settings.

3. Can I use my wax injector with silicone moulds?

Yes, silicone moulds are compatible with most wax injectors and are widely used for duplicating parts like bails, clips with rings, and pendants.
