Wax printing?

Looks like Solidscape already makes a wax printer that uses the same basic technology as an inkjet printer, only with liquid wax instead of ink. Exceedingly detailed, probably exceedingly slow, and I didn't submit a quote to find out how much it costs :-).

I would suggest you use a good cardstock paper and give up on the wax paper. The only printers that can print using wax are thermal printers(and that is just the wax ink)

a 3D printer can print with any number of materials as long as the filament is available. Plastic is the most common material supported on 3D printers today. It's a petroleum based filament with high melting temperatures.

Wax is less used but can still be printed because the material used in 3D printing is usually mixed with plastic to create a photopolymer.

Note that, while plastic is used to print the full 3D object, wax is used to create only the mold for the object. This mold itself supports fine detail and is non-porous. Hence capable of creating high resolution, lifelike 3D objects.
