2. Key Features
- Wax-Filled Composition: Provides strength and stiffness, enabling the printing of ultrafine filigree and detailed jewelry designs.
- 8K Precision: Achieves high-resolution 3D prints with a 22µm resolution due to its extremely low viscosity.
- No Post-Curing Required: Post-curing is not necessary and will lead to incomplete burning during the casting process.
- Low Burning Temperature: Ensures complete burnout at lower temperatures, leaving no ash residue.
- Broad Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of regular and mono LCD 3D printers.

3. Preparation for Use
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including protective gloves, when handling the resin.
- Store the resin away from direct sunlight or any other light sources.
- Review this instruction manual thoroughly before commencing use.

4. How to Use (Operating Instructions)
- Shake the resin bottle thoroughly before each use to ensure proper mixing of components.
- Refer to the recommended exposure conditions for your specific 3D printer model. These settings can be found on the 3DMaterials website or by scanning the QR code on the product label for the setting chart: SuperCast Setting Chart (PDF).
- After printing, use Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) or a suitable alternative alcohol to remove any excess uncured resin from the printed objects.
- Ensure the printed objects are completely dry before proceeding with the casting process.
- Important: Do not post-cure the printed objects. Post-curing will lead to incomplete burning during the metal casting process, potentially leaving ash residue.

5. Storage
- Store the resin in a dry, dark room with a temperature range of 10-25°C (50-77°F).
- Keep the resin away from direct sunlight and other light sources to prevent premature curing.
- Do not use the product beyond its expiration date, which is printed on the label.
- Once solidified, this product is not considered harmful to the environment. Dispose of residual cured resin in accordance with local waste management regulations.
6. Precautions for Use (Safety Information)
- Eye Contact: If resin comes into contact with eyes, do not rub. Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
- Inhalation: If inhaled, move to an area with fresh, clean air.
- Ingestion: If ingested, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and consult a medical professional for advice.
- Skin Contact: If resin contacts skin, flush the affected area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove any contaminated clothing and shoes. If symptoms such as inflammation or irritation occur, seek immediate medical attention.
- If any allergic reactions or signs are observed, consult a doctor immediately.
