The standout feature is its ease of printing and post-processing. It is compatible with accelerated 6-hour burnout schedules – a breakthrough in resin technology. This new investment casting resin promises to transform your casting process, offering a superior experience.
Wax-Free, Rapid Printing!
BURNAWAY resin is completely wax-free! No wax means that models can be highly detailed with minimal supports and allow for fast, easy, fuss-free printing. This means less waste, faster turnaround times, and flawless results every time.
Expert-Endorsed Quality
The excellence of BURNAWAY is not just claimed but proven, with a stellar 9.5 out of 10 rating by Clear Mind Jewellery, a leader in industry expertise. This high commendation underscores the product’s outstanding quality and effectiveness, ensuring it stands out in the market.
Low Emission, Minimal Residue
BurnAway’s FASTCAST™ burn-out ensures minimal residue after the burnout process (0.003%), low exhaust emission during the burnout process, and virtually no resin expansion streamlines the post-processing phase, allowing for more efficient casting.
Setting the new standard for Castable Resin
The Monocure3D BURNAWAY investment casting resin is not a standard waxed-based castable resin. This promises to be the new standard for 3D printer resin in the casting industry. Our chemists worked alongside the experts from Clearmind Jewellery in Canada (who have tested over 35 castable resins worldwide). This resin is easy to print without the wax component, with an impressive near-zero failure rate. BURNAWAY’s versatility and exceptional accuracy was designed for the casting community. Whether you are a seasoned jeweller, a detail-oriented technician, or an enthusiastic hobbyist, BURNAWAY is the solution you’ve been waiting for.
Experience the difference with BURNAWAY by Monocure3D and take your casting projects to the next level. Your designs deserve perfection.

BURNAWAY CASTING INSTRUCTIONS
Monocure 3D BURNAWAY is compatible with gypsum-bonded investments designed for casting 3D-printed resins such as R&R Plasticast, Certus Optima Prestige, and Gold Star ResinCast.
Consider using ‘Sticky Wax’ when attaching models to wax, as adhesion between resin and wax is not always very strong. Or consider printing casting sprues in place when appropriate.
Option 1: Suitable for novice casting studios and/or large resin prints.
Follow your investment manufacturer’s Investment mixing instructions and burnout schedule as closely as possible. Make sure the kiln is programmed and functioning properly. Check the thermocouple periodically to ensure it is reporting accurate temperatures correctly.
Example: Burnout cycle for a 4”x6” vacuum flask using R&R Plasticast mixed at a 40:100 ratio. Please refer to the R&R Plasticast Product Sheet for further instructions found here: R&R Plasticast Instructions
Standard Burnout Procedure
- Start kiln at room temperature or preheated to 150°C (300°F)
- Hold 150°C (300°F) for 3 hours
- Raise temperature to 370°C (700°F) over 2 hours.
- Hold 370°C (700°F) for 2 hours
- Raise temperature to 730°C (1350°F) over 2 hours
- Hold 730°C (1350°F) for 2 hours
- Lower kiln to casting temperature of metal (In this graph, 430°C or 800°F for sterling silver)
- Hold Casting Temperature for 2 hoursNote: Do Not Exceed Maximum Temperature
NB: If you are experiencing casting issues on larger models, extend the peak burnout temperature by one hour. Do Not Exceed the Maximum manufacturer-recommended temperature.
Option 2: Suitable for experienced casting studios and jewellery-sized items.
Done using R&R Plasticast at a i) thicker 36:100 mixture or ii) 38:100
Rapid Burnout Procedure
- Pre-heat kiln to 730°C (1300°F).
- Once at 730°C, place flasks into the kiln. (Putting cold flasks into a hot kiln will drop the temperature, possibly to 400°C (750°F)
- Allow the kiln to ramp back up to no higher than 730°C over 4 hours. (Faster is possible with smaller flasks)
- Holding for the entire 4 hours once at 730°C
- Drop to casting temperature over 1hr
- Hold at casting temperature for 1 hr. Example: 430-480°C, (800-900°F) for sterling silver)

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
SPRUES
1. If sprues were not integrated during the printing process, securely attach a sprue to the model using casting wax. This will serve as a conduit for the molten metal to flow seamlessly into the design.
2. Next, affix the model to a central wax column, constructing what is commonly referred to as a ‘tree’ structure. This method is particularly effective for simultaneously casting multiple pieces.
3. Finally, place the assembled ‘tree’ into the flask. While we are utilising Vacuum casting for this particular instance, it’s important to note that BurnAway is also highly suitable for centrifugal casting.
INVESTMENT MIXING PROCESS
4. Safety Notice: When handling plaster investment, be aware that it contains extremely fine silica particles. It is crucial to wear a suitable particle filtering mask, utilize ventilation when feasible, and meticulously clean up after each session to prevent serious health issues.
5. Begin by preparing the plaster investment. For optimal outcomes, we recommend using an investment specifically formulated for casting 3D-printed resins, such as R&R Plasticast or Certus Optima Prestige. Adhere strictly to the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the investment to ensure the best results.
PROTIP: BurnAway is compatible with both 2-hour investment setup times and the longer, manufacturer-recommended 6-hour setup times, offering flexibility in your casting process.
BURNOUT PROCESS
5. The next step involves placing your model into the kiln for the burnout phase. This critical process eliminates the resin and hardens the investment, creating a precise hollow cavity within the investment plaster, ready to be filled with metal. Remember, the specifics of your burnout schedule may vary based on the type of investment used and your flask size.
For those adept in lost resin casting seeking efficiency improvements, a rapid burnout process might be the key to saving precious studio hours. Monocure3D BurnAway has undergone rigorous testing and has shown excellent results under 6-hour rapid burnout conditions, particularly for jewellery-sized models.
BURNAWAY: OUR PRINTING TIPS
For optimal results, always vigorously shake the resin before use. Ensure the printer’s VAT film and LCD screen are spotless, and confirm that the build plate is precisely levelled before starting your print job. Download this Free Multi-Ring Calibration model to help dial in BURNAWAY resin with your printer.
Every printer has its distinct characteristics, and light intensity can differ even among printers of the same make and model. It’s crucial to use a calibration model to accurately fine-tune your printer settings with the resin for the best results.
Properly stored, Monocure3D BURNAWAY has a lifespan of up to 36 months. Always store the resin in its original container in a cool, dark environment, away from direct sunlight. Ensure BURNAWAY is kept above freezing temperatures to maintain its integrity.
Clean printed models in ResinAway® to remove excess resin for the best results. Then, use compressed air for drying. Check the models are dry and are post-cured for 10 minutes. Aim to cast models within three days of their initial printing.
PROFESSIONAL ADVICE WHEN YOU NEED IT
BURNAWAY resin is versatile and can be printed between 10 and 100-micron layer heights. To achieve the best results, 3D models should always be designed solid.
Check our printer setting page to see if we have your printer listed, which will give you a good starting point. Use a calibration model to dial in your printer with our resin.

Stone Setting Practice
Special Feature: By Clear Mind Jewellery
Stone setting is a fundamental skill that every jeweller should have a basic understanding of. Constructing your settings is important but not something we all have time for. With the rise of 3D printing, this skill rapidly has become computerized, and simply learning to set a stone has become equally important.
The practice pieces are designed to fit many popular stone cuts available in bezel and prong settings, where possible. All settings are slightly undersized and are thus NOT plug-and-play. You will need stone-setting tools (burs, bezel pushers, gravers, etc) to shape the settings to fit.
