(1) Size equipment based on largest expected part size and volume of parts generated per day.
(2) Select an oven if you plan to batch high volume of parts.
(3) Use mineral oil and an ultrasonic bath for complex entrapped cavities.
(4) Process times should be held to a minimum necessary for wax removal. This is especially true when using the EasyClean System in Steam Mode.
