Today, 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced the MJP 300W and VisiJet®
Wax Jewel Ruby - two additions to its portfolio of end-to-end
solutions for jewelry manufacturing. The company’s new MJP 300W is
the most advanced and flexible of its wax 3D printers, capable of
addressing a variety of jewelry manufacturing workflows with
enhanced productivity, efficiency, quality, and design freedom.
Additionally, 3D Systems’ new VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby material is a
tough, temperature-stable pure wax that provides the optimal
combination of flexible material properties and good dimensional
stability in high-temperature environments. As a result, it is
possible to maintain details of the most intricate jewelry designs
during the molding process, reducing the likelihood of breakage or
distortion to enable a flawless final piece. The combination of
this print platform and material is allowing producers of wax
jewelry patterns — from high-volume manufacturers to custom jewelry
makers — to more efficiently achieve new designs with greater
design freedom and improved surface finish.
The use of 3D printing in the jewelry industry is
anticipated to accelerate throughout the decade. According to a
report released by Contrive Datum Insights in March 2023, the total
addressable global 3D-printed jewelry market was more than $8
billion in 2022 and is expected to reach more than $22 billion by
2030. 3D printing has the potential to play an increasingly
important role in jewelry manufacturing, enabling efficient design
and production of unique patterns that are not possible to produce
with conventional methods. This allows for mass customization by
jewelry makers to meet consumers’ specific requirements in a
rapidly changing marketplace. 3D Systems’ wax material portfolio,
combined with its industry-leading 3D printing portfolio and
software integration is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in
accelerating the adoption of the technology.
New Wax Printer Model Enhances Resolution,
Boosts EfficiencyWith the introduction of the MJP 300W, 3D
Systems is unveiling two new print modes, QHD and UHD. QHD mode
enables more than 50% improved resolution in all axes (i.e., 2,000
dpi in X, 1,800 dpi in Y, 2,900 dpi in Z) and 9.5 µm layer
thickness as compared to the previous generation wax 3D printer.
This delivers premium quality surface finish allowing designs to be
produced with less finishing required. QHD also enables the
printing of more complex designs where polishing is not practical
or impossible. UHD mode offers 2x faster print speed than XHD on
the ProJet® MJP 2500W Plus, introduced earlier this year. UHD
offers significantly increased throughput and reduces the labor
required for finishing and polishing. The availability of four
print modes (i.e., QHD, UHD, XHD, ZHD) offers improved flexibility
in build planning for both day and night shifts to match the level
of speed, geometric complexity, and surface quality required by all
design styles.
The company has also made it easier to monitor a
print job’s progress through the addition of an industrial stack
light. This easy-to-see light can be conveniently positioned for
the greatest visibility on the printer or an adjacent surface such
as a desk or a cabinet. Additionally, reliability improvements
through print head and hardware modifications increase the uptime
by decreasing replacement frequency and lower the cost of
ownership.
New 100% Wax Material Delivers Optimized
Mechanical Properties3D Systems’ VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby is
the company’s most advanced material to deliver durable patterns
that help create flawless final pieces. Patterns produced with
VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby have increased thermal stability as compared
to the recently introduced VisiJet Wax Jewel Red. Additionally,
patterns created using VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby exhibit durability
that enables them to resist breaking through normal handling and
maintain their dimensional stability through shipping. This latest
material also enables pre-setting of stones to accelerate the
production of the final piece.
According to Shashidhar Kumar, partner, Shree Rapid
Technologies, "We were pleased to have early access to this
material for our jewelry manufacturing applications. Our experience
has shown that is it very easy to handle, and delivers patterns
with improved strength and flexibility, enabling us to provide
higher quality, durable patterns to our customers. Additionally,
the material is best suited for pre-setting stones, which is
helping our customers improve efficiencies when creating pieces
with intricate details."
Further expanding the extensive range of
addressable designs, VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby complements 3D Systems’
currently available wax materials — VisiJet Wax Jewel Red and
VisiJet M2 Cast — which can also be used in conjunction with the
MJP 300W.
"One of the greatest benefits of additive
manufacturing is providing unlimited design freedom, which is
especially important to unleash the creativity required by skilled
artisans," said Marty Johnson, vice president, product &
technical fellow, 3D Systems. "With the introduction of the MJP
300W and our new VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby material, we are providing
producers of wax jewelry casting patterns with enhanced
capabilities to improve productivity and processes that ensure
reliability. 3D Systems’ full system integration of the materials,
printer, print process, and software which is strengthened by our
application expertise and global customer success team is enabling
our jewelry manufacturing customers to achieve new levels of
innovation, quality, and reliability. The latest additions to our
end-to-end solutions for jewelry manufacturing reinforce our
commitment to addressing our customers’ needs to gain unprecedented
levels of agility with ease of use that ensures high-quality
results at any scale."
The MJP 300W and VisiJet Wax Jewel Ruby are both
planned to be available in November 2023. Anyone who is attending
the Istanbul Jewelry Show and would like to learn more is invited
to stop by 3D System’s partner, Luka Teknik Malzeme Pazarlama
Ltd.’s booth (1F30). For more information on 3D Systems’ portfolio
