How JINGYING Can Make CAD/3D Prototyping According to Your Silver Jewelry Picture

Introducere

In the modern jewelry industry, Proiectare asistată de computer (CAD) and 3D prototyping have revolutionized the way custom jewelry is created. Jingying, 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 Consultare inițială

  • Design Submission: Clients provide images (hand-drawn sketches, photographs, or digital designs).

  • Material Preference: Argint (925 Argint veritabil, Fine Silver, or Argentium Silver).

  • Design Specifications: Dimensiune, grosime, gemstone settings, gravuri, and finishing preferences.

1.2 Feasibility Analysis

  • Evaluare Tehnică: Ensuring the design is manufacturable (De ex., structural integrity, undercuts).

  • Cost Estimation: Based on complexity, material, și muncă.

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 (pentru modele complicate)

    • RhinoGold (for parametric modeling)

    • ZBrush (for organic, sculptural designs)

  • Key Steps:

    1. Base Structure Creation – Extruding shapes from 2D outlines.

    2. Detailing – Adding textures, gravuri, and gemstone settings.

    3. Boolean Operations – Combining/subtracting geometries for hollow designs.

    4. Sizing Adjustments – Ensuring accurate ring sizes, bracelet diameters, etc..

2.3 Client Review & Revisions

  • 3D Renders: Photorealistic images for approval.

  • Modificări: Adjustments based on feedback (De ex., grosime, stone placement).

3. 3D Prototiparea (Prototiparea rapidă)

3.1 Choosing the Right 3D Printing Technology

Tehnologie Material Accuracy Cel mai bun pentru
SLA (Stereolithography) Resin ±0.1mm High-detail rings, pandantive
DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) Metal Powder ±0.05mm Functional prototypes
Wax Printing Castable Wax ±0.2mm Investment casting

3.2 Printing Process

  1. File Preparation: Exporting the CAD file as an STL/OBJ format.

  2. Support Structures: Adding temporary supports for overhangs.

  3. 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. Casting & Finishing the Silver Jewelry

4.1 Investment Casting (If Using Wax Prototypes)

  1. Fabricarea mucegaiului: Coating the wax model in ceramic slurry.

  2. Burnout: Melting the wax to leave a hollow mold.

  3. Silver Casting: Pouring molten silver (925) into the mold.

  4. Devesting: 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 & placare to achieve a mirror finish.

4.3 Final Finishing

  • Filing & Sanding – Removing imperfections.

  • Lustruire – Using rotary tools with diamond paste.

  • Oxidation/Patina – For antique effects (optional).

  • Gemstone Setting – If applicable.

5. Controlul calității & Livrare

5.1 Lista de verificare a inspecției

✔ Dimensional accuracy (compared to CAD)
✔ Surface finish (no pits or cracks)
✔ Gemstone security (if set)
✔ Hallmarking (925 ştampila)

5.2 Ambalaj & Transport

  • Anti-Tarnish Packaging – Prevents oxidation.

  • Secure Shipping – Insured courier services.

6. Benefits of Choosing JINGYING for CAD/3D Prototyping

✅ Întoarcere rapidă – 5–7 days for CAD, 3–5 days for prototyping.
✅ Cost-Effective – Eliminates manual carving costs.
✅ High Precision – ±0.1mm accuracy.
✅ Personalizare – Easy modifications before final production.
