Spruing
– Remove the modelled post build-up from the die and
remove any interfering areas. If necessary, carefully blow
off excess isolation material.
– Place the sprue in the direction of flow of the ceramic at
the thickest spot (use a round wax profile, 2.5–3 mm dia-
meter, depending on the size of the build-up).
Investment
Invest the pieces with the IPS Empress 2 Special Investment
Material or the IPS Empress 2 Speed Investment Material.

Important
The pieces should be at least 3 mm apart. The distance of
at least 10 mm between the objects to be pressed and the
investment ring must be observed. Excess isolation materi-
al must be removed. Spruing must be carried out taking
the direction of flow of the ceramic into account. A
dummy object must be invested together with very small
individual pieces.
Important
Do not use debubblizers. Observe the corresponding
