RAPID PROTOTYPING & SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION
Rapid prototyping serves as an invaluable tool for businesses aiming to swiftly iterate and test their product designs, enabling them to refine concepts and identify improvements efficiently. For small batch production runs, 3D printing technologies (FDM) and (SLS) provide a cost-effective and agile solution, enabling companies to produce limited quantities of customized components or products without the need for expensive tooling or lengthy setup times
Fused Deposition Modeling
or FDM 3D Printing
FDM printers work by heating a thermoplastic filament to its melting point and then extruding it, layer by layer, to create a three dimensional object.
FDM printers are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them a popular choice for home and small-scale 3D printing
Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography works by using a photopolymer resin that is cured by exposure to light.
The machine traces out the desired geometry layer by layer using a computer-controlled moving laser beam.
The beam is directed by mirrors that are positioned around the build platform.
CAD DESIGN & REVERSE ENGINEERING
When it comes to certain projects, a computer-aided design, or CAD, can be extremely beneficial. A main advantage to using CAD is the fact that it provides experts with greater accuracy. This is done by replacing manual drafting with electronic design software, such as SketchUp, Fusion 360, or AutoCAD Design Edition.
SOME INFOMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL
I had always been interested in jewelry making, but it was only when I discovered 3D printing that I really fell in love with it. I loved the idea of being able to design and create my own pieces, and the fact that I could use Sterling Silver to create them made it even more special to me.
Sterling Silver is a beautiful metal, but it can be tricky to work with. It's soft enough that it can be easily scratched or dented, and it tarnishes over time. But despite all of that, I loved working with it. I loved the way it looked and felt, and the fact that it could be polished to look like new again.
3D printing Sterling Silver was the perfect way for me to create the jewelry I had always dreamed of. I could design and create any piece I wanted, and I didn't have to worry about the metal being too soft or too difficult to work with. Plus, the finish options were endless. I could create a piece that was matte or glossy, textured or smooth.
The only downside to 3D printing Sterling Silver was the cost. It was definitely more expensive than other metals, but it was worth it to me. I loved the fact that I could create high-quality, beautiful jewelry that would last a lifetime.
Sterling Silver (92.5% silver) is a high quality silver alloy commonly used in jewelry and other skin-safe applications. With several finishing options and the ability to showcase intricate details, 3D printing Silver offers a professional, finished look and feel. 3D printed Silver will tarnish over time, but can be polished to achieve a like-new surface.
