White wax casting resin will subvert the traditional jewelry casting industry

With the development of the times, changes in productivity, and the rise of information technology and 3D printing technology, it has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the traditional jewelry casting industry.

Over time, people have raised some questions:

【Could jewelry casting be made more detailed and less time-consuming?】

【Is it possible to make jewelry casting more precise?】

【Is it possible to make jewelry casting time faster?】

【Wouldn’t it be great to 3D print precious metals directly? Why not choose it?】

【Is it possible to allow jewelry casting to create more complex shapes?】

【Is it possible to make the customization of jewelry casting more precise?】

【Is it possible to make jewelry casting cheaper?】

The following may give you the answer.

Traditional jewelry making is a meticulous and time-consuming process

Traditional jewelry-making is a detailed and time-consuming process. Nobody can deny the skill and craftsmanship that goes into a handmade ring or pendant, and there will always be something unique about manually sculpted personal adornments. Still, the fact stands that it takes a lot of time and patience to make jewelry completely by hand.

Jewelers and goldsmiths have woken up to this reality and adopted 3D printing in droves to make jewelry production easier, faster, and far less costly.

3D printers replace the practice of carving a hard modeling wax into the desired shape. Using a computer and jewelry design software or any computer-aided design (CAD) program, a jeweler creates the design or alters an existing design and then 3D prints that piece of jewelry in a wax material, creating a pattern. From this point, it’s back to the traditional process of lost wax casting.

A 3D printer not only makes it possible to create a finely detailed master wax model, but also to customize your digital file of the jewelry in the software in a matter of minutes and print out another model, or 20 different models at once. This dramatically speeds up design development through fast iterations and enables mass customization.

Compared with traditional cast jewelry, white wax casting resin is more delicate

The casting effect is very precise,3D printing can accurately replicate complex designs, and even very small textures and decorations can be perfectly reproduced. This is essential for high-precision jewelry manufacturing.

White wax casting is faster than the traditional process of casting jewelry

Simply put, 3D printing is infinitely faster than carving wax by hand. Whereas the traditional method requires you to spend hours or even days painstakingly carving the wax model, the 3D printer will produce a detailed model in a matter of hours. Plus, changes are far easier since you can simply alter the digital file and print another version.

Compared with direct 3D printing of precious metals, the cost of white wax resin casting is lower

you can directly 3D print jewelry in precious metals, but most jewelers don’t use 3D printers this way because the technology is not quite accessible in terms of price for independent jewelers.

Compared with hand carving, 3D printing white wax casting resin can design more complex and fine geometric shapes

3D printers can create far more complex and intricate geometries than hand-carved designs. You can print anything your CAD software can design so it makes great design more accessible to artists who may lack carving skills. Additionally, depending on the piece, you may even be able to produce geometries that are practically impossible through hand-carving.

3D printing casting supports customization

Since the original master model is stored as a digital CAD file, you’ll be able to quickly modify it based on customer requirements.

3D white wax casting supports mass production

Depending on the capacity of your 3D printer, you may be able to print dozens of different wax models with one print run.

3d white wax casting supports copy function

3D printing adds another level of convenience in that you can reproduce old or lost pieces of jewelry. With a 3D scanner, you can recreate an existing piece as a digital model that can then be cleaned up in CAD software and printed.

White wax casting is more cost-effective than traditional casting

Jewelry-scale 3D printing uses very little material. Although castable wax materials might be more pricey than regular resins, you’ll get a lot of mileage out of one batch of material, which helps you cut costs.

Compared with traditional casting, 3D white wax casting can quickly determine the jewelry prototype

Fitting stones in a 3D printed model ensures a perfect fit and customer approval before casting the final piece. Clients can try on 3D printed models and get a truer sense of the final piece than a 2D image.

YOUSU's white wax casting resin provides you with the best jewelry casting resin experience

YOUSU resin casting effect is very precise

The casting effect is very precise,3D printing can accurately replicate complex designs, and even very small textures and decorations can be perfectly reproduced. This is essential for high-precision jewelry manufacturing.

YOUSU resin have highest wax content

YOUSU product,white wax castable resin is really good.Highest wax content,White wax resin combines the easy casting properties of wax and the photosensitive curing properties of resin, making the printed model easier to perform subsequent casting work. Due to the high wax content of white wax resin, the release force during the printing process is small, which means As printing speeds can be faster, thus improving production efficiency, the high wax content of white wax resin makes it more suitable for the production of metal products such as gold, because these metals require finer control when casting.

YOUSU resin have not high demanding for casting

Not high demanding for casting,LCD-Compatible Printing,Recommended for use with the Jewelry machine,the casting resin can be printed on LCD machines.Yousu provides a comprehensive application solution and technical supportto facilitate your smooth transition to digitalization.

YOUSU castable resin model is very light

The castable resin model is very light,The castable resin models are much lighter than traditional metal models. This allows designers to easily review and modify jewelry designs while also reducing shipping costs.

Suitable for various models

YOUSU resin Suitable for various models,Can be used to cast various models, such as rings, such as bracelets, such as necklaces, such as bracelets.

White wax resin printing process

After preparing the white wax resin and designing the 3D model, you usually need to export it to STL file format, slice it, and transfer the file to an LCD printer. Then prepare for printing: Make necessary printing settings, such as adjusting printing speed, temperature and other parameters.

Execute printing: The instructions in the LCD printer file solidify the resin layer by layer until the printing is completed.

Put it into the curing box and then solidify

Cut off the support from the model and sand it down

Use the processed prints, add supports, place the wax strips in the middle and insert the prints around to plant wax trees.

Cover the container and seal all the holes in the container with tape to prevent the lime slurry from leaking out later.

Mix water and gypsum and complete the mixing within 5 minutes. The ratio of water to gypsum is 40:100. The lime slurry is vacuumed (to remove the bubbles)

Slowly pour the gypsum into the vessel where the wax tree is planted

Vacuum again to expel the air from the lime slurry

Leave to solidify for 2.5-3 hours

Open the bottom of the container, put the wax tree side down, and put it in the oven. The temperature and time are according to the specific resin (different resins have different parameters)

Prepare the required metal and put it into a high-temperature box to melt the metal at high temperature

Take out the container from the oven and pour the molten metal from the end of the wax tree where the wax is planted.

Let stand

Put the entire container into water to dissolve the gypsum, and use a spray gun to spray away the gypsum.

Take out the cast parts, grind and polish them, etc.
