Ladies! You Could Now Print 3D Jewelry At Home

by John Smith Manager

When watching a sci-fi movie, how they wished to create all the beautiful jewels at home with the help of a magical device.

This magical device is now a sure reality and is called a metal 3D printer in the real world. Now, you could 3D print your favorite jewelry at home with this and that too in the designs which you desire the most.

Yes, this is an era where you have food 3D printers to print your favorite food items and you have metal 3D printers too, which could print the finest metallic objects. Wish to know more about it? Please read along:

The Materials Used For 3D Printing:

For jewelry, the most common printing materials are the metals. Given below is a list of the most common metals and alloys which are used for 3D printing:

· Brass: Brass is used for PU coating and color plating etc. on objects of some other metal or alloy.

· Silver: Silver could be used to print 3D accessories and it could also be used for plating purposes.

· Gold: About 14k or 18k gold is used to fabricate accessories and for polishing etc. jobs

· Bronze: This is actually an alloy used for polishing and PU coating etc. jobs

Apart from the metals, the jewelers employ hoards of other 3D printing materials such as alumide, polyamide and sometimes even ceramics (yes, this is possible).

The Technology Used:

The kind of technology used for 3D printing jewelry depends on the kind of material used. For instance, for metals such as brass, copper, silver, and gold, the jewelers mostly use Lost-Wax Printing and Casting which is a mix of modern 3D printing and traditional wax-casting methods.

The Cost Of 3D Printing Jewels:

That should be pretty easy.

3D printed objects generally cost lesser than the ones which were fabricated using the traditional methods. However, in this too, the cost of the jewelry items would depend on the volume, size and most essentially the material(s) employed for printing the objects.

For instance, objects in gold would certainly stand costlier than the ones made of brass.

Benefits Of 3D Printing Jewels:

Jewelry 3D printing has offered benefits such as:

· It has greatly enhanced the production process. You just need a good 3D design and you could personalize it to print objects of any desirable shape and size. However, this is not possible at home with a Wanhao 3D printer you possess. You would need industrial 3D printers for it.

· You could print a plastic prototype of any costly jewelry item before printing it actually. This would help in understanding the design better and minding the flaws which need to be corrected.

· Most importantly, you could print objects in the most intricate shapes and sizes, which was difficult with the traditional methods.

Thus, jewelry 3D printing is a discovery that is capable of revolutionizing the accessory industry. Very soon, you would get the most efficient 3D printers which would help you print your favorite jewels and accessories at home too.
