About Copper
Copper is 100% copper formed through a lost wax casting process. It has a red-orange color that oxidizes over time turning the surface a darker brown, blue, or greenish color depending on the environment. Each copper part is 3D printed in a wax material which is used to create a mold for investment casting. Lost wax casting is capable of showcasing intricate details, offering a professional, finished look and feel that oxidizes over time creating a corrosion resistant boundary layer on the surface of the part.
Color & Finishes
Light polishing to achieve a somewhat rough surface with a matte finish.
Hand-polished to achieve a smooth, shiny surface. (Internal detail can not be polished, well-reachable surfaces will be polished therefore tight internal spaces may remain unpolished.)

Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
89 × 89 × 100 mm
Bounding Box Min
2.4 × 2.4 × 0.6 mm
The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model. Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.

Parts in File
Max
Up to 2 identical parts (like earrings or cufflinks) may be uploaded in the same model file. We cannot accept multiple, unique, non-interlocking parts ordered in the same model file; there should be one file for each unique part.
