Rapid prototyping technology jewelry equipment is according to the jewelry 3D data model directly machine processing jewelry raw mode, any piece of jewelry can be regarded as a two-dimensional contours of equal thickness along a coordinatedirection superposition, the products according to the 3D design model is constructed on the computer, the first 3D model segmentation system into a series of plane geometry information, namely, slicing the, each layer section contour, the contour information, adopt different ways (injection, light curing etc.) will material from layer to layer stacked into three dimensional entity. In the jewelry industry, the main process of the production of the jewelry of the rapid prototyping technology are as follows: 1)designed by the designer jewelry styles; 2) by three-dimensional modeling personnel will plan designer into jewelry three-dimensional map, set jewelry 3D model; 3)according to the three-dimensional model of ornaments, using rapid prototypingequipment processing the jewelry the original, the original can be wax, can also be aresin mold; 4) will wax or resin mold casting into a silver version or directly cast into one piece of gold; if it is a resin version, can also die directly to; 5) if cast in silver, theSilver Edition the plate processing, get a silver version; if the casting gold goods, canthey die, mosaic and so on gold, finally get a finished jewelry.
Rapid prototyping technology can be divided into and stacked decrease two,decreasing type refers to the art of carving material, remove the unwanted parts,finally get the jewelry raw mode; stacked is through the accumulation of material layer by layer and eventually formed a jewelry raw mode. The typical decline type rapid prototyping equipment is JWX-10 type wax carving machines in Japan, as shown in Figure 2, the JWX-10 type wax carving machine mainly has the following advantages: 1): small volume, do not need to install additional space, can be easily placed in any corner in your office or factory; 2) engraving speed, high precision spindle JWX-10with brushless motor power up to 100W, can carry on the milling at a high speed of 6000 ~ 20000 rpm, shorten the production cycle; 3) compatible jewelry common CAD software, JWX 10, Jewelsmith, 3Design can be Matrix, JewelCAD, JewelSpace and other commonly used jewelry CAD software derived IGES, DXF and STL data file; 4)using 4 axis control, processing out of the wax surface smooth.
