From new, complicated design freedom, to improving traditional processes for jewellery production, to direct metal manufacturing (in the process eliminating many of the traditional steps) 3D printing has had a colossal impact on the jewellery sector! Customization, which was once a complicated, expensive idea is no more just a part of one’s imagination. Complex, light-weight jewelry is manufactured as a single piece in wax, resin or metal with minimal need for post production or human intervention. A boon for jewelry industry with a potential to make product development faster and cheaper to iterate, 3D printing has also opened up a whole new world of shapes and formations that are cost-prohibitive and impossible to make using traditional method

One among the most widely used manufacturing methods is the Investment or Lost Wax casting. The process includes pouring molten metal into a mold. Making of the mold involves using a wax pattern in the exact shape of desired part. The pattern is ‘invested’ into a slurry that hardens in the mold. When the wax pattern is melted out from the mold, molten metal is poured which takes the exact shape of melted pattern. The material is then allowed to settle for some time and cured after the mold is broken and output obtained. Investment casting is preferred over other manufacturing techniques when the parts are complex and needs to be intricate. It can be done in a wide variety of metals including Gold, Silver, Brass, Bronze, Aluminum, Stainless steel alloys etc.
