The Advantages of SuperbMelt Jewelry 3D Printers
High Resolution
3D printers based on DLP technology can image through millions or even tens of millions of tiny and high-precision pixels,so the printing resolution is high that can achieve extremely fine details.
You can refer to the following data: the pixel size of laser stereolithography equipment is close to 100μm, the width of our hair is 100μm, and the pixel size of DLP technology printer is 15μm.It can be seen that dlp can achieve very high accuracy.
Compared to other 3D printing methods, DLP printers print at a much higher resolution and have a smoother finished surface, resulting in a more satisfying overall print. In addition to the propped up part, there is almost no need for grinding, and the subsequent processing work is also less.
Fast Printing Speed
The working process of traditional 3D printers is from point to line, and then from line to surface, to complete the construction of specific shapes and images layer by layer.
Compared to DLP 3D printers, the printing speed is slow. The working process of DLP 3D printers is to project and polymerize a whole layer.
With the help of light shining on the material, the whole layer is formed at one time, which can significantly improve the printing speed in less production time.Can reach 15-28mm/hour so super fast.
Material Complexity
The wide use of 3D printer technology is inseparable from the materials it uses, including photosensitive resins, ceramic resins, castable wax materials, etc.
The development of these materials has made 3D printing technology more widely used in jewelry, dentistry and other industries.
Customization
The printed models will be archived in cad files, so it will be very flexible for post-processing, even if the wearer is not satisfied with the design, it can be easily changed and re-customized.
Mass Production
Highly automated printing and rapid prototyping can reduce time costs,also it can print more than 10 design models at one time then scaled-up jewelry production and provide more possibilities for mass production in the jewelry industry.
Reproduction
When used in conjunction with a 3D scanner, it can achieve rapid reproduction of existing jewellery pieces and saving design time and costs.
First use the 3D scanner to scan the existing work and save it as a cad file, and then use the 3D printer to print the document to achieve easy reproduction.
Cost-Efficiency
The printable materials for jewelry are relatively limited, and although the wax material is expensive, it has the best effect and the most cost-effective among the limited materials. It can reduce many processing steps in the later stage.
Quick Prototypes
When jewelry needs to be inlaid with gemstones, you can try it on the 3D printing model. The 3D model is clearer than the 2D image, which can ensure the perfect fit of the final cast product, thereby winning the recognition of customers.
Long Service Life
Compared to the other two SLA/LCD printers, the overall lifespan of DLP printers is very long. The service life mentioned here mainly refers to two aspects, one is the scrapping period of core optical devices, and the other refers to the near scrapping period that is basically difficult to use stably.
SuperbMelt DLP printers use custom optical machines, with an average stable working life of more than 20,000 hours, and support for long-term continuous use.
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.
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.
Software
3D printing is a digital manufacturing method. In the 3D printing industry chain, 3D software is a very critical part. 3D software is inseparable from the acquisition of 3D data models, the processing of 3D data models, or the control of 3D printers.

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.
