be challenging so in order to help this process, the ICI Publications Committee has updated the Atlas of Wax Pattern Defects with new features. Like the Casting Atlas, this release can be viewed in the wax department/workstation on a computer, tablet, or phone.
The
Wax Atlas now includes a section on “Best Practices” which provides basic fundamental controls which can help avoid patterns defects from appearing.
