Figure 4 Jewelry

ULTRA-FAST AND AFFORDABLE 3D PRINTING SOLUTION FOR JEWELRY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING WORKFLOWS

Fastest Printing to meet Your Production Needs

Part of 3D Systems’ scalable, fully integrated Figure 4^® technology platform, Figure 4 Jewelry is an affordable solution optimized for jewelry design and manufacturing workflows, delivering unparalleled speed, productivity, ultra-fine detail, and smooth surface finish.

Print algorithms developed specifically for jewelry workflows enable Figure 4 Jewelry to print patterns at 15mm/hr at 30µm layer.

High Quality Jewelry Patterns

Produce superior jewelry prints with best-in-class surface finish. Figure 4’s non-contact membrane technology, combined with exclusive MicroPoint™ support structures, minimizes part-to-support interaction, resulting in the smoothest sidewalls and finest resolution for jewelry applications.

Ultra-Fine Detail

Proprietary print build styles developed specifically for jewelry, both for thin, delicate geometries, as well as thicker geometries, enable optimized jewelry prints with detail for settings, sharp prongs, fine mesh and more.

Reduced Production Labor Costs

MicroPoint ultra-fine tip support structures enable both easy support removal and smoother surface finish, reducing downstream labor costs and production time by minimizing polishing of support intersection points.

Optimized for Jewelry Production Workflows:

Jewelry Casting Patterns

3D print highly accurate jewelry casting patterns for intricate, detail-rich feature pieces. Figure 4 Jewelry offers superior casting quality and patterns ready for casting in hours for customized pieces manufacturing and short-run production. Figure 4 JCAST-GRN 10 is an optimized casting material that yields minimal ash and residue after burnout for easy casting.

Master Patterns for Molds

Produce 3D printed master patterns for RTV/silicone molds used in high volume, mass-production jewelry casting workflows such as accessories and costume jewelry. Figure 4 JEWEL MASTER GRY material’s high heat deflection temperature (300°C) ensures compatibility with a range of silicones for creating molds used in jewelry casting production workflows.

Prototyping/Fit-Check Models

Create accurate, fine detail prototypes of jewelry designs for fittings and try-on, as well as to ensure the accuracy of stone settings. Figure 4 JEWEL MASTER GRY material delivers exceptional precise surface quality and meets biocompatibility standard ISO 10933-5 for try-ons and fittings.
