Hi, I am about to cast an 18k rose gold ring from a formlabs 3d printed model in castable resin. I am confused about the burnout process. Please can somebody suggest me about an specific burnout process to follow? Thank you, Lorena

You can find the recommended process here or on the Formlabs website

Make sure you have post cured the model first though in an appropriate chamber.

Best, James
