3D printing is a Rapidapid Prototyping Technology positioned at the design stage to produce inexpensive models. Once the 3D model is created the design team will review the product. 3D printing use has increased and many industries are adopting this technology.
The use of 3D printing in the jewellery industries is increasing day by day. With 3D printing model editing is fast. Software like RHINO, JewelCAD is used for work jewellery designing.
Myself Ravindra Gavde, NextGen 3D Guide, founder of the Facebook group "Mission 3D for Generation Next" and my mission in the coming 3 years is to prepare a career seeking 10000 students for future opportunities in 3D Printing.
Now let us see, 5 most applications of 3D printing in jewellery.
1. Prototype Modelling
Before making actual jewellery a prototype model can be made first and can be viewed in all direction. Any changes to be done can be implemented at this stage. At this stage, it not only reduces design defect but also saves time.
2. Functional Testing beforehand
After making the model actual jewellery is made. Then it is tested functionally and used on the body. The customer is satisfied with its appearance and usage.
3. Customisation
Customised Jewellery can be made directly. Due to this customer can make quick decisions and make changes as per their creativity and demand. Customised 3D printed jewellery fits properly and is aligned with the body composer, which looks beautiful.
4. Produce Jewellery parts directly
Normally in several international fashion shows, jewellery costume is made and shown to the public as a unique application of 3D printing in jewellery, which is highly appreciated by the world.
5. Wax models in Lost Wax Casting
Normally wax model is made as a pattern in the lost wax casting procedure. It is a complicated procedure step by step to prepare a wax model. With the help of a wax model pattern, actual jewellery is made with different material such as brass gold extra. 3D printed wax models are fast to make on a 3D printer after a CAD model is made. Thus reducing the time and cost to make jewellery.
The high cost of 3D printing in jewellery application it has captured a small fraction of the market. In the future with easy to use 3D printing Technology the 3D printed jewellery market is poised for growth. Castable Wax 40 Resin easy to use material for jewellery manufacturing will lead to a bigger market in future definitely.
