How JINGYING Can Make CAD/3D Prototyping According to Your Silver Jewelry Picture
Introducción
In the modern jewelry industry, Diseño asistido por computadora (CANALLA) and 3D prototyping have revolutionized the way custom jewelry is created. Jingoso, a professional jewelry manufacturing company, specializes in transforming clients’ silver jewelry ideas into precise CAD models and 3D-printed prototypes. This article explores the step-by-step process of how JINGYING converts a jewelry picture into a physical prototype, the technologies involved, and the benefits of using CAD/3D prototyping for silver jewelry production.
1. Understanding the Client’s Design Requirements
1.1 Consulta inicial
-
Envío de diseño: Clients provide images (bocetos dibujados a mano, photographs, or digital designs).
-
Material Preference: Plata (925 Plata esterlina, Plata fina, or Argentium Silver).
-
Especificaciones de diseño: Tamaño, espesor, ajustes de piedras preciosas, grabados, and finishing preferences.
1.2 Feasibility Analysis
-
Evaluación Técnica: Ensuring the design is manufacturable (P.EJ., integridad estructural, subvenciones).
-
Cost Estimation: Based on complexity, material, y trabajo.
2. CAD Modeling Process
2.1 Image Processing & Digital Sketching
-
2D to 3D Conversion: Using software like Adobe Illustrator or Rhino to outline the design.
-
Vectorization: Converting hand-drawn sketches into editable digital formats.
2.2 3D Modeling in Jewelry CAD Software
-
Software Used:
-
Matrix Gold (Para diseños intrincados)
-
rinoceronte (for parametric modeling)
-
Zistrush (for organic, sculptural designs)
-
-
Key Steps:
-
Base Structure Creation – Extruding shapes from 2D outlines.
-
Detallando – Adding textures, grabados, y engastes de piedras preciosas.
-
Boolean Operations – Combining/subtracting geometries for hollow designs.
-
Sizing Adjustments – Ensuring accurate ring sizes, bracelet diameters, etc..
-
2.3 Client Review & Revisiones
-
3D Renders: Photorealistic images for approval.
-
Modificaciones: Ajustes basados en comentarios (P.EJ., espesor, stone placement).
3. 3D Prototipos (Prototipos rápidos)
3.1 Choosing the Right 3D Printing Technology
| Tecnología | Material | Exactitud | Mejor para |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLA (Estereolitmicromografía) | Resina | ±0.1mm | High-detail rings, colgantes |
| DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) | Metal Powder | ±0.05mm | Functional prototypes |
| Wax Printing | Castable Wax | ±0.2mm | Casting de inversión |
3.2 Printing Process
-
File Preparation: Exporting the CAD file as an STL/OBJ format.
-
Support Structures: Adding temporary supports for overhangs.
-
Printing: Layer-by-layer fabrication (takes 2–6 hours depending on size).
3.3 Post-Processing
-
Support Removal: Manual or chemical cleaning.
-
Sanding/Polishing: Smoothing layer lines for a flawless finish.
4. Fundición & Finishing the Silver Jewelry
4.1 Casting de inversión (If Using Wax Prototypes)
-
Fabricación de moldes: Coating the wax model in ceramic slurry.
-
Agotamiento: Melting the wax to leave a hollow mold.
-
Fundición de plata: Pouring molten silver (925) into the mold.
-
Devastador: Breaking the mold to retrieve the silver piece.
4.2 Direct Metal Printing (If Using DMLS)
-
No mold needed – The prototype is already in metal.
-
Requires polishing & enchapado to achieve a mirror finish.
4.3 Acabado Final
-
Presentación & Lijado – Removing imperfections.
-
Pulido – Using rotary tools with diamond paste.
-
Oxidation/Patina – For antique effects (opcional).
-
Entorno de piedra preciosa – If applicable.
5. Control de calidad & Entrega
5.1 Lista de verificación de inspección
✔ Dimensional accuracy (compared to CAD)
✔ Surface finish (no pits or cracks)
✔ Gemstone security (if set)
✔ Hallmarking (925 estampilla)
5.2 Embalaje & Envío
-
Anti-Tarnish Packaging – Prevents oxidation.
-
Secure Shipping – Insured courier services.
6. Benefits of Choosing JINGYING for CAD/3D Prototyping
✅ Respuesta Rápida – 5–7 days for CAD, 3–5 days for prototyping.
✅ Rentable – Eliminates manual carving costs.
✅ High Precision – ±0.1mm accuracy.
✅ Personalización – Easy modifications before final production.
