RE: Shrink Rate
If I need to predict shrinkage I try to find an existing example that is similar in composition and design paramerers that influence the shrinkage.

RE: Shrink Rate
Thanks for the feedback. Would you happen to have an example?
RE: Shrink Rate
The only wax moulding I have seen is for jewelry and shrinkage really does not matter there. My real shrinkage prediction experience is with thermoplastics. Well I suppose wax is just a real low MW PE, but I would hesitate to use PE as an example.
