French term or phrase: cire propriétaire
Bonsoir,

Voici le contexte :

Les machines xxxxxxxxx impriment les pièces avec une véritable cire propriétaire plébiscitée par tous les fondeurs de métaux précieux, tant pour leur facilité de fonte que par les résultats irréprochables qu’elles assurent en terme d’état de surface et de conformité géométrique au modèle CAO.

Merci beaucoup.

proprietary wax
Explanation:
Proprietary
Manufactured and sold only by the owner of the patent, formula, brand name, or trademark associated with the product: proprietary medicine.

In other words, they (the printer manufacturers?) make and sell their own wax.

For anyone who's not sure, this is about 3D printers that make wax moulds for jewellery.

"As for getting the best, as of the last time I checked (last week),
CNC milling usually gives the best initial surface finish. Viper's
resin is second, with Solidscape's proprietary wax and
InVision's resin material falling third."
