When selecting resin materials for 3D printing jewellery, several factors are essential to consider, including the desired aesthetic qualities, mechanical properties, compatibility with printing technology, and post-processing requirements. Here are some key points to help you choose the right resin for jewellery printing:
Types of Resins:
Standard Resins: These are suitable for prototyping and are often less expensive but may not have the best detail or durability.
Castable Resins: Specifically designed to be used for lost-wax casting. These resins burn out cleanly without leaving residue, making them suitable for creating exceptional jewellery.
Here’s a more comprehensive overview:
Standard Resins:
Description: Typically used for general prototyping and basic models.
Characteristics: Cost-effective, but may compromise on detail and durability compared to specialised resins.
Applications: Prototype parts, basic figurines, or visual representations.
Resin Material: Jamghe Standard plus Nebula grey and Phrozen TR300
Castable Resins:
Description: Specialised for the lost-wax casting process.
Characteristics: Burns out cleanly, leaving no ash or residue, which is vital for metal casting.
Applications: Creating moulds for silver, gold, or other metal jewellery designs.
Resin Material: Bluecast Resins
