What Technologies Are Used in SuperbMelt Jewelry 3D Printers

SLA & DLP

SLA technology is Stereo lithography Appearance, which uses a laser to focus on the surface of the light-cured material, so that it solidifies sequentially from point to line, from line to surface, and repeats itself, so that layers are superimposed to form a three-dimensional entity. is a technique of laser drawing layers.

DLP technology is Digital Light Processing, which mainly uses a projector to solidify photopolymer liquid layer by layer to create 3D printed objects. It is a projection drawing layer technology. 

Due to the different technical principles, it is easy to understand the reason why DLP is much faster than SLA. SLA technology is formed from dots to lines, lines are formed into surfaces, and then the next layer of printing is performed, while DLP technology instantly forms surfaces, and then prints the next layer. Floor.

Under the same printing volume (DLP full-width printing) and the same quality printing state, after testing, DLP single printing is about 10 times faster than SLA.

SLA DLP Technology

Light Curing Technology

Light curing technology has gone through three stages of development SLA laser scanning and DLP digital projection, as well as new LCD light sources. The difference between the three is simply that the characteristics of light curing technology are different.

The core of each light curing technology is the solution to the problem of light source, from SLA of laser scanning, to DLP of digital projection, to the latest LCD printing technology.

The Workflow of SuperbMelt Jewelry 3D Printer

Step 1: 3D Model Design

Users can design a unique and ideal creative jewelry patterns through 3D modeling software, and finally generate three-dimensional renderings.

If it is an existing design work, you can use a 3D scanner to make it a CAD digital effect and present it on the computer.

Step 2: 3D Printing Wax Mode

Jewelry is usually made of precious metal, and the lost wax casting process is still used at present, and the most critical wax model is made by 3D printing technology.

The jewelry industry usually uses DLP light-curing 3D printers. Light-curing is the most accurate 3D printing technology at present.

Using special liquid photosensitive resin wax consumables, a perfect wax model can be made with an accuracy of micron level, which can be perfectly restored and design.

Step 3: Planting a Wax Tree

The 3D printed wax model needs to cut off the excess support lines, and then use isopropyl alcohol to shake and clean it.

After removing the residual resin, the tree can be started. When planting trees, follow the principle of light and thin pieces on top and heavy pieces on the bottom.

Use a soldering iron to melt one end of the wax strip to stick to the ring, and the other end to melt and stick to the main wax strip.

Step 4: Making the Casting Mold

a.Preparation of Gypsum Slurry:

Jewelry manufacturing generally uses gypsum molds;

b. Grouting:

Place the wax tree in the center vertically into a special cup, and pour the prepared gypsum slurry into the mixer in a vacuum.

c. Dewaxing by Calcination:

The wax model can also be volatilized during casting, but due to the precise and complex texture of the jewelry, it is necessary to remove it before casting, and it also enhances the performance of the plaster model.

Step 5: Pouring and Casting

After melting and vacuuming the previously calculated amount of metal, use a medium frequency pouring machine to pressurize and inject it into the plaster mold, take it out and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes, and then take out the casting after it is completely cooled in water.

Step 6: Processing and Shaping

Cut the ring from the trunk, and after grinding, polishing, and diamond setting, a ring designed by yourself is done.
