This week in the #Solidscape Instagram tag you can find examples ranging across the entire 3D printing jewelry making process: Idea, Design, CAD, Final Print, and Casting. What comes at the end? Let’s start at the beginning.

First, you need an idea of a product and a design and a visual representation of that idea to kickstart the process of bringing your idea to life. You can visually represent your idea on paper or in CAD software. Sasha.dolgikh shared a sketch of a beautiful earring design on paper pre-CAD.

 

 

Mobiusjewelrydesign shared their complex ring designed in Keyshot software.

 

 

Next, you print your design as a 3D model on a 3D printer. This week Robertglennltd shared a video of their Solidscape High Precision 3D printer printing out their ring designs.

 

Our new projects should be ready for casting tomorrow! #3dprinters #3dprinter #cad #solidscape

When the printing process is finished and the support material is removed, your jewelry design is now a 3D wax model you can hold in your hand! Mobiusjewelrydesign’s 3D printed wax model of the same ring design.

FCJoyeros shared not only shared the wax models of their Dragon Earrings, but also the next step in the process: Casting. You can see the dragon cast in silver.
