The Flashforge WaxJet 400 is an industrial Multi-Jet 3D printer designed for high-precision wax pattern production, offering ±0.04 mm accuracy, 16-micron layers, and a 1200 x 1200 x 1600 dpi printhead. With a 289 x 218 x 150 mm build volume and automated features like one-button 3D printing, material reloading, and layout optimization, it supports up to 10 kg of monthly output. Ideal for jewelry, precision casting, and art foundry applications, it reduces jewelry production costs by 30% and delivery times by half. It uses three proprietary wax materials—FFWJ1100, FFWJ1200, and FFMS3100—for versatile, detailed, and support-enabled casting.
What is the print quality and performance of the Flashforge WaxJet 400 3D Printer?
The Flashforge WaxJet 400 uses MultiJet Printing (MJP) to produce wax patterns with 16-micron layers and flawless finishes. Its industrial printhead achieves 1200 x 1200 x 1600 dpi resolution and ±0.04 mm accuracy per 20 mm, ensuring precise, reliable results for investment casting and precision manufacturing.
The WaxJet 400 balances quality with efficiency, producing up to 10 kg of wax patterns monthly. Its automated workflow and 3D layout optimization maximize build plate use, boosting throughput while maintaining high standards.
The WaxJet 400 uses three proprietary materials: FFWJ1100 (general-purpose, high stability), FFWJ1200 (dental-specific), and FFMS3100 (dissolvable support). Together, they enable complex geometries with overhangs and internal features while ensuring smooth surface quality.
The WaxJet 400 demonstrates real-world performance by printing a complex 4 cm wheel with curved blades in under 5 hours. Its speed and resolution make it especially valuable for jewelry manufacturing, cutting costs by 30% and delivery times by over half compared to traditional methods.
Which materials can you use with the Flashforge WaxJet 400 for Jewelry Manufacturing and Production of Wax Patterns?
The WaxJet 400 uses three non-toxic materials: FFWJ1100 (general-purpose), FFWJ1200 (dental), and FFMS3100 (dissolvable support). Designed for MJP technology, they ensure high print quality and compatibility with casting processes.
Each WaxJet 400 material has a defined role: FFWJ1100 (purple) is the primary structural wax for jewelry, precision casting, and aerospace; FFWJ1200 (pink) is tailored for dental casting; and FFMS3100 (white) acts as a dissolvable support, removed in a wax wash during post-processing.
WaxJet 400 materials are engineered for casting with controlled melting points (68°C FFWJ1100, 80°C FFWJ1200, 55°C FFMS3100), low shrinkage (1.10% and 0.90%), and ash content below 0.01%. These properties ensure consistent print quality and reliable casting results.
The WaxJet 400’s material management system uses a 2×2 cartridge setup with automatic switching, level monitoring, and low-supply alerts. Built-in warming maintains optimal flow, ensuring consistent material deposition and reliable printing.
What is the build volume of the Flashforge WaxJet 400?
The WaxJet 400 has the largest build volume in the series at 289 × 218 × 150 mm, offering greater capacity for mass production and larger patterns. Compared to the WaxJet 510 and 530 (289 × 208 × 100 mm), it provides 10 mm more width and 50 mm more height.

The WaxJet 400’s 3D automatic layout optimizes build plate use by arranging parts horizontally and vertically with 0.5 mm spacing (0.5–1 mm when stacked). This maximizes capacity and boosts throughput by fitting more parts into each job.
The WaxJet 400 comes with two build plates, enabling continuous production. While one plate undergoes post-processing, the other can be used for the next job, reducing downtime and increasing output.
What printer controls are available on the Flashforge WaxJet 400?
The Flashforge WaxJet 400 features over 25 controls accessible via a 10.1-inch color touchscreen, including print status functions like pause/stop and material level tracking, material cartridge management with four independent bottles, print queue handling for multiple jobs, and diagnostic and maintenance tools such as Z-axis tests and firmware updates.
