Jewelry Crafting Guide by Type

Rings — In-Depth Manufacturing Guide (Example: Gold Ring)

Full Process and Equipment:

① Model Creation (CAD or Scanning)
Use CAD software such as Rhino, MatrixGold, or ZBrush to design the ring model, or use the SuperbMelt 3D laser scanner to scan a physical ring and generate a high-precision STL file.

② 3D Printing (Wax Pattern Formation)
Import the STL file into a 3D printer for wax model printing. Depending on precision and application, you can choose from:

4K Printer: Standard resolution (~50μm), ideal for daily wear styles;
8K Printer: High resolution (≤25μm), capable of extremely fine details, suitable for relief and micro-setting;
Wax Printer: Designed for lost-wax casting, leaves no residue after burnout, ideal for gold and platinum rings;
Resin Printer: Good for non-precious metal jewelry that will be electroplated and worn directly.

③ Burnout & Mold Creation (Investment Process)
Mount the wax ring models on a wax tree, embed them into a flask with investment powder, then place the flask into the SuperbMelt burnout furnace, gradually heating to 750~850°C to remove the wax and create a clean cavity.

④ Melting & Vacuum Casting
Melt gold in the SuperbMelt induction melting furnace (2–5 minutes), then pour the molten metal into the mold using the SuperbMelt vacuum casting machine.

⑤ Cutting & Initial Polishing
After casting, cut the individual rings from the “ring tree” using clippers, then polish using an electrolytic polishing machine to remove oxidation and brighten the surface.

⑥ Automatic Stone Setting
Use the SuperbMelt automatic stone setting machine to inlay diamonds or other gemstones precisely.

⑦ Finishing & Quality Inspection
Apply additional finishing like brushing or electroplating (gold/rhodium) as desired, clean thoroughly with an ultrasonic cleaner, and manually inspect the stone setting and polish quality.

Necklaces — Deep Process Guide (Example: K Gold Necklace)

Process & Key Equipment:

① Use a wire rolling machine to reduce precious metal to the desired wire diameter.
② Feed the wire into a chain-making machine (O-link, box chain, snake chain, etc.) to produce the chain structure.
③ To diversify the chain styles, use a faceting machine to create decorative cuts on the surface.
④ Use a multi-tank electro-polishing system to clean and finish the K gold surface.

Bracelets — Deep Process Guide (Example: Sterling Silver Bracelet)

Detailed Process & Equipment:

① Material Preparation & Forming
Use a wire drawing machine and rolling mill to reduce silver bars to the correct wire size, then shape using a forming press.

② Module Assembly & Welding
For segmented chains, use CNC stamping molds to shape links and join them with a silver soldering gun or spot welder.

③ Engraving & Surface Texturing
Use a CNC engraving machine or laser engraver to apply custom designs or inscriptions.

④ Surface Treatment & Finishing
Use magnetic polishers, tumbler machines, and hand buffing tools.
For antique-style finishes, oxidize with a surface oxidation furnace before buffing.

⑤ Electroplating & Stone Setting
Electroplate with silver or gold, and use an automatic stone setting machine to inlay zircon, crystals, etc.

Pendants — Deep Process Guide (Example: 3D Relief Pendant)

Steps:

① Design & Sculpting
Create 3D relief models using ZBrush, then print with a SuperbMelt high-precision SLA printer.

Use micro-grinders and needle polishing tools to refine relief edges and transitions.

④ Personalized Finishing
Apply brushed, sandblasted, or colored finishes using electroplating and texture machines.

⑤ Loop Welding & Inspection
Attach loops using a spot welder, and inspect with a digital magnifier.

Earrings — Deep Process Guide (Example: Gemstone Stud Earrings)

Step-by-Step:

① Model Design & Printing
Design the earring and setting in CAD, print with a SuperbMelt SLA wax printer.

② Casting the Main Body
Follow the standard investment → burnout → casting process.

③ Post Attachment
Cut stainless or metal wire using a wire cutting machine, and weld to the earring body with a laser welding machine.

④ Polishing & Plating
After initial polishing, apply a protective or K gold layer with an electroplating system.

⑤ Stone Setting & Packaging
Inlay gems using an automatic setting machine, then pack with a clean room packaging unit.
