Traditional jewelry making is a craft that requires immense effort and manual skill. This kind of processing method relies on manual or semi-manual labor. It faces issues such as high costs and limited production capacity. Today 3D printing digital production process has been introduced into the jewelry manufacturing industry. It has provided the jewelry manufacturing industry with an innovative process. This process not only enhances personalization but also boosts production efficiency. In this article, we will list five common pain points in jewelry manufacturing and the advantages brought by 3D printing digital technology.

Ancient Method Gold Jewelry

Market Pain Points: 

With the rise of New Chinese Style and China-Chic, consumers' pursuit of quality and cultural connotation are constantly rising.
This motivates Ancient Gold Jewelry to enjoy higher consumer acceptance and purchase intention in the market. However, the traditional hand-carved wax or water-soluble wax process has a long cycle (typically over 14 days). It’s lengthy process cycle makes it can’t keep up with the latest trends.

WaxJet Series Solution Advantages

Equipped with multiple print heads, a single 3D printing printer can print approximately 300 bracelet wax patterns in 24 hours.

• From the initiation of the printing process to the dispatch of the final product requires only 3 days at minimum. This advantage makes it possible to ideally meet urgent restocking requirements.
• The unique water-soluble support wax undergoes autonomous dissolution in immersion solution, leaving intricate openwork patterns completely intact.
• Specialized structural wax offers casting properties which are identical to those of traditional wax. This guarantees a seamless connection to the follow-up processes and maintains consistent quality.

Gold-Plated Accessories

Market Pain Points: 

The wave of live-stream shopping requires lightning-fast style refreshes. However, the orders are often diverse in style, small in batch size, and short in delivery time. Orders like these require not only agile production but also to ensure consistent quality for each piece. The above reasons make it almost impossible for the traditional manufacturing models to keep up.

WaxJet Series Solution Advantages

• A single 3D printer can print 6,000–10,000 precision wax patterns in 24 hours, and is capable of supporting massive order volumes at full capacity.  
• From printing to the delivery of finished products can be completed in 5 days. This helps to meet tight delivery deadlines.
• The 3D printing technology supports high-precision printing, which can clearly restore even the tiny details in the design draft.  This ensures the stable quality of each product.
• Eliminating mold production supports lightning-fast style updates and helps to keep up with live-stream trends.  

Ring Designs  

Market Pain Points:  

Best-selling designs are often counterfeited as soon as they hit the market. For flat and simple-patterned designs, traditional mold pressing production is easily replicated. The above presents a serious threat to original design security and market exclusivity.

WaxJet Series Solution Advantages

• 3D printing technology accurately control the wall thickness of the printed wax mold within 0.55mm. This helps eliminate high-quality counterfeits from the source.
• 3D printing technology makes it possible to print encrypted model files on demand and skip the physical mold process. With the entire design data process operating within a closed - loop system, we can keep our ring designs safe and secure.
• 3D printing technology can complete the printing of 360 ring wax molds in just 24 hours. This leaves ample time for subsequent processes such as casting and polishing.

Inlaid Jewelry 

Market Pain Points:  

Inlaid jewelry remains popular due to its diverse designs and material combinations, but strong demand places higher requirements on production efficiency and consistency. Automatic wax inlaying machines are several times more efficient than manual labor but demand extremely stable wax pattern dimensions and high quality—standards. Traditional handmade candle making or  low - precision printing often fails to meet the high - resolution requirements of fine. This has become a bottleneck in automation upgrades.  

WaxJet Series Solution Advantages

• 3D printing technology can precisely control the size of the wax molds and ensure the stone-setting size meets standards, thus achieving zero compromise on finished product quality.
• This unlocks the high-speed potential of automation and achieves a sharp 30% cut in labor costs.
• 3D printing technology offers flexible support for the customized printing of personalized wax-inlay styles and paves the way for mass production of unique designs.
  

K-gold Jewelry

Market Pain Points:  

With its unique luster, skin-friendly properties and high-end texture, K-gold jewelry continues to be the steadfast first choice for consumers. However the long prototype validation cycle, unmanageable raw material waste and the high cost of trial and error slow down the new product launch. The majority of styles' rapid delivery is constrained by lengthy manual procedures and protracted machining  operations.

WaxJet Series Solution Advantages

• Print realistic prototypes rapidly. Verify effects in real time and iterate quickly. Shorten design cycle greatly.
• One-click switching, directly batch output high-gloss wax patterns.Flatten multiple traditional manufacturing steps, resulting in a dramatic surge in efficiency.
• The new 2900 x 2900 x 1700 dpi ultra-high precision system ensures more accurate metal flow during casting, significantly reducing material waste.From the antique gold jewelry which carries a profound history to gold-plated wave which sweeps the market,  from custom-made rose gold jewelry which guards your privacy to automated inlaying jewelry, and to the high-end personalized designs which lead the trend in jewelry. WaxJet series products are quietly reshaping the landscape of jewelry manufacturing. It is to unleash human craftsmanship, not to take its place,let precious craftsmanship focus on  more core value creation.
