From dreams to digital blueprints: a journey of design

Magic begins with an idea – a vortex of the vine, an abstract geometric pattern, a slight reminiscent of snowflakes or sea waves. Modern CAD (Computer Aided Design) software provides jewelry designers with unprecedented freedom. The complex mode of traditional wax engraving methods can be used to digitally engrave with pixel perfect accuracy. Think of exquisite lattices, interlocking elements, custom monograms seamlessly integrated into the structure, or a fluid organic form inspired by nature – all with digital designs.

Key Translation: Prepare Metal Magic

Designing 3D printing, especially complex thin-walled structures such as Tiaras, requires professional consideration:

1. Geometry and wall thickness: Ensure that the design has sufficient structural integrity without unnecessary weight. SLM allows to create surprisingly resilient but refined features.
2. Self-supporting structure: Optimize the design to minimize or eliminate overhangs that require support structures during printing, thereby reducing post-processing work and material use. Complex curves and undercuts require careful planning.
3. Material selection modeling: This design must indicate the properties and shrinkage properties of the selected metal alloy.
4. Rally Plan: Larger headdresses may be designed through the chain segment Great.

The core of transformation: Advanced SLM 3D printing

This is Grevlight’s industrial expertise shines. Our SLM 3D Printer Fusion of fine metal powder into solid, fully dense components using a high-power laser:

• Accurate to microns: SLM technology builds Tiara structures layer by layer (range from 20-100 microns thick) with excellent accuracy. This allows for a clear definition of small details and the smoothness required for complex curves inherent in headwear design.
• Complexity is King: Faced with traditional manufacturing restrictions, SLM smiled. Seamless integration of internal channels, shiny complex lattices, organic vortexes, and gem setups (designed as sockets) is easy to achieve. We unlocked impossible geometry for casting or milling.
• True metal durability: These are not plastic trinkets. SLM Printing Real Metal components use alloys, for example:

  • Sterling silver (925 silver): Classic precious metal options with excellent finishes and iconic features. Gremight excels in printing complex silver blocks.
