(SeaPRwire) – LAS VEGAS, May 28, 2026 — As the global jewelry sector accelerates its shift toward digital and flexible manufacturing, Flashforge, a leading provider of jewelry-focused 3D printing solutions, has announced it will showcase its latest innovation—the WJ51C desktop wax 3D printer for jewelry—at JCK Las Vegas from May 29 to June 1, 2026. At booth 50122, Flashforge will demonstrate how this new system packs industrial-grade precision into a compact, desktop-sized form factor.
With gold prices reaching record highs and skilled craftsmen in short supply, traditional jewelry manufacturing faces unprecedented challenges in efficiency, cost management, and workspace utilization. Tailored to address these pain points, the WJ51C combines industrial capabilities with a space-saving design, offering jewelry studios, small workshops, and brands a highly flexible, cost-effective wax 3D printing solution for jewelry.
Bringing Industrial Technology to the Desktop
Professional wax 3D printers have long been the gold standard for lost-wax casting, but their high cost, large footprint, and operational complexity have made them inaccessible to many independent designers and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). To tackle this industry gap, Flashforge leverages MJP technology to condense the capabilities of large-format industrial systems into a desktop-sized machine.
The WJ51C measures just 865×510×654mm, with a build volume of 235×138×100mm, allowing users to produce high-precision wax patterns directly in offices or store backrooms—no need to dedicate an entire workshop to large-scale equipment. This creates a seamless workflow from design to casting.
Micron-Level Precision & 3kg Monthly Output
Despite its compact size, the WJ51C desktop wax 3D printer delivers uncompromised industrial performance. Boasting a resolution of up to 2900×2900×1700 DPI, a minimum layer thickness of 15 microns, and dimensional accuracy within ±0.04mm/20mm, the printer produces ultra-smooth wax patterns that flawlessly replicate intricate textures and complex stone-setting structures. This level of finish drastically reduces, or even eliminates, the need for post-processing polishing.
Designed for 24/7 continuous operation, the WJ51C has a monthly capacity of 3-4 kg of red wax patterns, making it ideal for daily prototyping and small-batch jewelry production in retail stores. Part wax utilization exceeds 57%, helping cut material waste and lower the overall production cost per piece.
Innovative Materials: Zero Waste, Plug-and-Play
Traditional industrial wax 3D printers typically rely on large wax tanks that must be fully heated even for small print runs, often leading to repeated heating, material degradation, and waste. The WJ51C introduces a redesigned material system with independent wax blocks: a 72g Part Wax Block and a 180g Support Wax Block. Users load only the amount they need, and material replacement takes just seconds. This on-demand approach not only reduces material costs but also ensures fresh, stable material for better casting success.
Paired with the dedicated WaxJetPrint slicing software, the entire workflow can be managed independently by a single operator, minimizing reliance on experienced technicians—a practical advantage for smaller studios with limited staff.
As a global leader in 3D printing solutions, Flashforge achieved a breakthrough in industrial wax 3D printing as early as 2017-2018 and later launched its WaxJet series, challenging the long-standing dominance of overseas brands in jewelry wax printing. With the WJ51C, Flashforge is bringing its proven wax 3D printing expertise to a broader audience—marking a key step in its mission to make advanced technology more accessible.
Visit Flashforge at Booth 50122 during JCK 2026 to see the WJ51C compact wax 3D printer in action, along with red wax casting samples and finished jewelry pieces. On-site experts will be available to provide guidance on wax pattern casting and digital production workflows. All are welcome to stop by.
