Looking for US based printing companies that use the Projet 3500 RealWax material.

Any ideas?

You could check with these guys. 3dwax.com/index.html

Why do you need that specific model?

EDIT:

or just call these guys and ask. printin3d.com They either make the printer or distribute it.

Thanks CorSec.

Technically I don't need that model, it's just the one I was reading about. I'd be happy with anything that does the same thing.

I'm curious how the wax processes holds up against laser sintering.

Problem is you loss the master if you try to cast it. Unless you can find an intermediate step that doesn't produce a lot of heat.

Lost wax casting. But the final master would be very rough ;-)

In the lost wax process, you don't usually use the master. You make copies of the master and use those to make the pieces.
