In recent years, processing trade jewelry equipment more and more attention to the introduction of high technology, such as laser welding, laser marking, CNC machining,rapid prototyping technology, the introduction of these new technologies make jewelryis no longer a simple manual labor industry. The rapid prototyping technology is therapid development of new technology, rapid prototyping technology can realize themechanical version of jewelry, jewelry processing out of not only the high degree of symmetry, precise size, and compared with the manual version, lower cost, saving more time.
Jewelry jewelry rapid prototyping technology is based on the 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 coordinate direction superposition,according to the construction of three dimensional computer product design model,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 material layer by layer) will pile up into a three-dimensional entity. In the jewelry industry, the main process of the production of thejewelry of the rapid prototyping technology are as follows: 1) designed by the designerjewelry styles; 2) by three-dimensional modeling personnel will plan designer intojewelry three-dimensional map, set jewelry 3D model; 3) according to the three-dimensional model of ornaments, using rapid prototyping equipment processing thejewelry the original, the original can be wax, can also be a resin mold; 4) will wax orresin mold casting into a silver version or directly cast into one piece of gold; if it is aresin version, can also die directly to; 5) if cast in silver, the Silver Edition the plate processing, get a silver version; if the casting gold goods, can they die, mosaic and soon 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, JWX-10 typewax 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 orfactory; 2) engraving speed, high precision spindle JWX-10 with brushless motorpower up to 100W, can carry on the milling at a high speed of 6000 ~ 20000 rpm omega replica,shorten the production cycle; 3) compatible jewelry common CAD software, JWX 10,Jewelsmith, 3Design can be Matrix, JewelCAD, JewelSpace and other commonly usedjewelry CAD software derived IGES, DXF and the STL data file; 4) using 4 axis control,processing out of the wax surface smooth.
Because the wax carving machine is used in mechanical milling method, some partsare not a carving, require manual trimming. In the process of carving, in order to ensure sufficient mechanical strength of wax, wax need extra leave some wax as the support, the engraving, the need for manual net of support, then the appropriatedressing on supporting parts. When carving rings, floor cut part is carved is not, inwax carving is completed, you need to manually floor cut.
