From CAD designs to castable resin models, NOVA3D supports the digital production of microlay, filigree, openwork and thick-walled jewelry models through LCD stereolithography 3D printing equipment, jewelry casting resins, NovaStudio slicing and printing workflow software and post-processing processes.
What are jewelry casting 3D printing applications?
Jewelry casting 3D printing application refers to the use of LCD light-curing 3D printing technology to produce jewelry resin models, combined with ultrasonic cleaning machines, post-curing, sintering and lost-wax casting processes, to gradually transform digital designs into physical models that can be used for process evaluation or subsequent casting. NOVA3D targets jewelry design studios, manufacturing companies and casting centers, providing printing equipment, jewelry resin, NovaStudio slicing and printing workflow software and post-processing process recommendations.
Jewelry application scenarios
Micro setting ring
Micro-set rings usually contain multiple small openings, prongs and hollow structures, which require higher model details, support settings and post-processing processes. Through GEM3 Max and jewelry casting resin, users can create resin models for design verification, setting observation and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
Recommended products:
GEM3 MAXPrecision Cast Resin
Applicable structures:
Micro-studs, four-claw/six-claw setting, small row of nails, hollow shell, light and thin curved parts
cuban bracelet
Cuban bracelets are composed of multiple links and buckle structures. The links are closely connected and the fasteners are movable. This requires the model to have high strength and toughness while taking into account the details. Through GEM3 Max and Precision Cast Resin, a complete chain link model can be produced for connection testing, fastening verification and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
Recommended products:
GEM3 MAXPrecision Cast Resin
Applicable structures:
Chain links, fasteners, connecting rings, movable buckles, buckles between sections, closing parts
filigree bracelet
The filigree bracelet is composed of filaments, hollows and rolled edges. The structure is fine and ash is easy to remain in the hollow parts during the sintering process. It requires high requirements for the clarity of the model's hollows and support settings. Using GEM3 Max and filigree casting resin, a filigree bracelet resin model can be made for filigree design evaluation, hollow burnability verification, and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
The filigree pendant contains filaments, hollows and pendant structures. The whole is fine and ash is easy to remain in the hollow parts during the sintering process. It requires high requirements for the filament performance of the model and the clarity of the hollow parts. Through GEM3 Max and filigree casting resin, filigree pendant resin models can be made for filigree design evaluation, hollow burnability verification and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
The overall wall thickness of the men's thick ring is relatively large. Thick-walled structures are prone to uneven curing and incomplete combustion during the printing and sintering processes. The requirements for model wall thickness uniformity and smooth combustion are relatively high. Through GEM3 Max and High wax thick casting resin, thick-ring resin models can be produced for structural verification, dimensional evaluation and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
The relief Buddha amulet contains three-dimensional relief patterns, shading and buckle structures. The relief details are required to be high and the overall wall thickness is uneven. The requirements for model details and smooth burning are high. Using GEM3 Max and High wax thick casting resin, a resin model of the relief Buddha amulet can be produced for relief design evaluation, thickness verification and pre-lost wax casting evaluation.
