The art of jewelry crafting 3D systems advanced wax 3D Printer.
The MJP 300W stands at the pinnacle of wax 3D printing technology, boasting a range of enhancements, including two new print modes, QHD and UHD. QHD mode delivers exceptional precision with over 50% improved resolution in all axes, equating to 2,000 dpi in X, 1,800 dpi in Y, and 2,900 dpi in Z. Complemented by a layer thickness of 9.5 µm, this advancement ensures a remarkable surface finish while reducing the need for post-processing. This means even the most intricate and complex jewelry designs can come to life without the laborious polishing process. On the other hand, UHD mode offers double the printing speed of its predecessor, the ProJet MJP 2500W Plus, resulting in increased throughput and reduced labor for finishing and polishing. With four print modes available (QHD, UHD, XHD, ZHD), flexibility in build planning for both day and night shifts has reached an all-time high.
The magic doesn’t stop there. The VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby material redefines the game, offering flexibility and dimensional stability in high-temperature environments. This temperature-stable pure wax ensures the intricate details of jewelry designs remain intact during the molding process, reducing the risk of breakage or distortion. Additionally, it allows for the pre-setting of stones, significantly accelerating the production of final pieces.
3D Systems has thought of everything, including a handy industrial stack light to easily monitor your prints’ progress. The addition of print head and hardware improvements translates to increased uptime and a lower cost of ownership. Say goodbye to frequent replacements and hello to enhanced reliability. Shashidhar Kumar at Shree Rapid Technologies, a 3D Systems partner, shared his experience with early access to the machine and material, stating that it is easy to handle and delivers patterns with improved strength and flexibility, ensuring the creation of higher quality, durable patterns. The VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby material’s suitability for pre-setting stones is proving to be a game-changer, significantly improving efficiencies in crafting pieces with intricate details.
The MJP 300W and VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby are set to grace the world with their presence in November 2023, marking another significant leap in 3D Systems’ quest to revolutionize the art of jewelry crafting. With a dedication to innovation, quality, and reliability, 3D Systems empowers jewelry manufacturers to reach new heights of excellence with unmatched ease and precision.
