Docs Casters Blog

Docs is a high speed and high temperature casting investment plaster. This is the material that literally revolutionized platinum casting back in the 1990's. The materials high strength and very low platinum flask temperature improves results at almost any casting shop.

When a 1600 degree burnout is used, it is capable of withstanding the most demanding model materials like high resolution resins from Cad Cam operations. This is whee we keep instructions and tips on using Docs-written by us here at PMWest or posted by you-the users.

Docs what you use for white gold, palladium white gold, 950 palladium or of course any platinum alloy. If you are in need of "same day" casting our three hour wax to cast cycle will save your deadlines.

Docs and the newest growing CAD materials

As new materials come into play for CAD models, be sure to review the CAD instructions for Docs. Long hot burnouts will be the order of the day. Docs can take the 1600 degree heat for this and maintain it's strength. This way you are far less likely to have any plaster break off and become inclusion porosity.

Resin Cad Cam or Photopolymers

For those most difficult resin Cad-Cam models... If you are using this material to simply overcome the defects that you encounter from the use of carving or RP waxes, you can just as well use a normal jewelry burnout cycle in the same oven as your normal daily production flasks. Method B: (Smaller flasks or small flask-less castings) Note: Casting flask-less is ideal with this type of material · Program your oven controller for a ramp rate from 4 degrees per minute to a maximum of 10 degrees per minute. This investment material is very resistant to shock so your ramp up speed can be faster than with gypsum-bonded investment. · About 1 hour after investing, put the flask into an oven that is preheated to about 300 o F (150 o C), with the wax button facing down. · Ramp directly up to your top burnout temperature of about 1350 o F - 1600 o F, depending on the metal you are burning out. For photopolymer...
