In recent years, with the rapid development of 3D printing technology, the innovative application of 3D printing in jewelry and other professional fields has continuously made breakthroughs, creating favorable opportunities for the personalization and intelligence of the jewelry industry. Today, the global jewelry industry is in a stage of upgrading and transformation, and it is difficult for traditional jewelry sales channels to meet the personalized needs of young consumers. Many young consumers who are chasing trends are keen to show their individuality. Therefore, customizing jewelry according to personal preferences and tastes has become a way of consumption for young consumer groups.
However, the traditional jewellery manufacturing process has to go through a variety of processes, such as plate release, rubber mold opening, mold opening, wax injection, mold repair, etc., which cost a lot of materials, space, equipment, manpower and time. The limitation of traditional processing industry technology makes many excellent jewellery designs only remain conceptual and cannot be realized. But for 3D printing technology, it happens to be free from these factors. Whether directly or indirectly used for jewelry manufacturing, 3D printing technology will simplify the current jewelry production process and promote the development of the industry to the direction of personalized, digital and intelligent manufacturing.
The advantages of 3D printing in the jewelry industry
Simplified design and production process
Compared with traditional manufacturing, the complicated structure cannot be completed by hand. 3D printing technology can make up for this artificial "fault". 3D printing technology uses computer technology to build a three-dimensional model, and introduces digital production into the system on demand and quantity, which can quickly produce high-precision and complex craft jewelry that cannot be achieved by traditional manufacturing. You only need to build your personality model through 3D modeling software, and you can make any shape through a 3D printer.
Reduce labor and production costs
3D printing omits relevant steps such as prototyping and mold making, greatly reducing the production period and material costs, and has the advantages of simple operation, rapid prototyping, high precision, saving raw materials, and reducing losses.
Personalized customization
For many jewellery brands, only by providing customized services to the young market can they stand out from the jewellery companies. 3D printing can produce custom-designed products with guaranteed quality at a lower cost, which can meet the diverse needs of consumers for styles and provide them with efficient and convenient private customization.
