Time is working out! Nominate now for the 3D Printing Trade Awards 2023.
US-based 3D printer producer 3D Methods has introduced the launch of its new MJP 300W 3D printer and VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby materials.
Including to the corporate’s end-to-end jewellery manufacturing portfolio, these new choices are designed to handle the rising international jewellery market which is ready to exceed $22 billion by 2030.
The mixture of those two new merchandise is claimed to permit wax jewellery sample producers to extra effectively obtain larger design freedom and improved floor end.
The MJP 300W jewellery 3D printer is claimed to supply improved 3D printing speeds, floor high quality, and reliability. Incorporating two new construct modes, the MJP 300W is being billed as 3D Methods’ most superior and versatile wax 3D printer up to now. The brand new 3D printer reportedly gives enhanced productiveness, effectivity, high quality, and design freedom for jewellery manufacturing workflows.
Moreover, as a troublesome, temperature-stable pure wax, VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby is claimed to supply optimum versatile materials properties and good dimensional stability in high-temperature environments. 3D Methods declare that its new materials maintains the small print of intricate jewellery designs in the course of the molding course of, decreasing the chance of breakage or distortion.
“With the introduction of the MJP 300W and our new VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby materials, we’re offering producers of wax jewellery casting patterns with enhanced capabilities to enhance productiveness and processes that guarantee reliability,” commented Marty Johnson, Vice President, product & technical fellow, 3D Methods. “3D Methods’ full system integration of the supplies, printer, print course of, and software program which is strengthened by our utility experience and international buyer success workforce is enabling our jewellery manufacturing prospects to realize new ranges of innovation, high quality, and reliability.”
“The most recent additions to our end-to-end options for jewellery manufacturing reinforce our dedication to addressing our prospects’ wants to realize unprecedented ranges of agility with ease of use that ensures high-quality outcomes at any scale.”
Each the MJP 300W and VisiJet Wax Ruby shall be accessible to buy in November 2023.
The MJP 300W: 3D Methods’ latest jewellery 3D printer
The launch of the MJP 300W has seen 3D Methods introduce two new 3D print modes, QHD and UHD.
QHD mode is claimed to allow premium high quality floor end. In accordance with 3D Methods, QHD mode gives greater than 50% improved decision in all axes (i.e. 2,000 dpi in X, 1,800 dpi in Y, 2,900 dpi in Z) and 9.5µm layer thickness, in comparison with the corporate’s earlier technology wax 3D printer.
QHD mode can be mentioned to facilitate the 3D printing of extra complicated designs the place sprucing is impractical or not possible.
The brand new UHD mode permits for high-speed 3D printing, providing 2x quicker 3D print speeds than XHD on the ProJet MJP 2500W Plus which was launched earlier this 12 months. As such, UHD mode reportedly will increase throughput and reduces the labor required for ending and sprucing.
Along with the 2 new 3D print modes, the MJP 300W additionally gives XHD and ZHD 3D print choices. With 4 3D print modes, this new 3D printer reportedly gives improved flexibility in construct planning for each day and night time shifts to fulfill the velocity, geometry, complexity, and floor high quality of all design types.
3D Methods has additionally added an industrial stack mild to the MJP 300W, rising the convenience at which customers can monitor 3D print jobs. This mild will be positioned to supply larger visibility on the printer or an adjoining work floor.
The corporate has additionally made 3D print head and {hardware} modifications to enhance the 3D printer’s reliability. This can enhance uptime by reducing substitute frequency, reducing the price of possession within the course of, 3D Methods claims.
3D Methods’ new VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby 100% wax materials
3D Methods is billing its new VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby as the corporate’s most superior materials for 3D printing sturdy patterns for high-quality jewellery items. Certainly, patterns produced with this new materials are mentioned to own elevated thermal stability in comparison with the corporate’s VisiJet Wax Jewel Purple materials.
Patterns 3D printed utilizing VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby additionally exhibit excessive ranges of sturdiness. Subsequently, these elements are unlikely to interrupt via regular dealing with and preserve their dimensional stability via transport. The brand new materials additionally allows pre-setting of stones, accelerating the 3D printing course of.
“We have been happy to have early entry to this materials for our jewellery manufacturing functions. Our expertise has proven that it is vitally straightforward to deal with, and delivers patterns with improved energy and suppleness, enabling us to offer increased high quality, sturdy patterns to our prospects,” said Shashidhar Kumar, accomplice at Shree Speedy Applied sciences.
“Moreover, the fabric is greatest suited to pre-setting stones, which helps our prospects enhance efficiencies when creating items with intricate particulars.”
3D printing and the jewellery trade
The usage of additive manufacturing throughout the jewellery trade is rising. A report launched by Contrive Datum Insights in March 2023 outlined the full addressable international marketplace for 3D printed jewellery as being over $8 billion in 2022. That is anticipated to achieve greater than $22 billion by 2030.
3D Methods shouldn’t be the one firm to discover this rising market. Final 12 months, multinational printing agency HP partnered with treasured metals specialist Legor Group. This collaboration sought to advance metals science and the manufacturing of chrome steel equipment for the jewellery and vogue sectors.
The companions labored collectively to develop novel treasured steel supplies for HP’s Steel Jet system. These supplies have been designed to offer velocity, high quality, and price benefits for the speedy manufacturing of 3D printed jewellery and vogue equipment.
Elsewhere, Italian luxurious jewellery provider Promotion SpA adopted INTAMSYS additive manufactured tooling to optimize its product meeting course of. Leveraging INTAMSYS know-how, Promotion SpA 3D printed bracelet alignment instruments. These instruments have been able to withstanding a number of testing cycles, with out scratching the bracelet’s superb exteriors.
