Figure 4 Jewelry

ULTRA-FAST AND AFFORDABLE 3D PRINTER FOR JEWELRY CASTING PATTERNS PRODUCTION

Part of 3D Systems’ scalable, fully integrated Figure 4® technology platform, Figure 4 Jewelry is an affordable solution optimized for jewelry design and manufacturing workflows, delivering unparalleled speed, productivity, ultra-fine detail and smooth surface finish.

Capable of creating prints ready for casting or molding in hours, Figure 4 Jewelry enables manufacturing to accelerate time-to-market and quickly respond to market demands for custom jewelry or short-run production at low per piece cost. Printing up to 4x faster than comparable printing systems, Figure 4 Jewelry’s fast, digital workflow is responsive to any design modification, whether minor or drastic, so new designs can be delivered within very short timeframes, enabling unparalleled flexibility.

Figure 4 Jewelry Casting Application Brief

Figure 4 Jewelry uses the high accuracy, fine feature detail, speed and smooth surface finish of Figure 4 technology with specific print build styles in the 3D Sprint® software for jewelry and specific materials to enable three jewelry production workflows: digital production of jewelry casting patterns, master pattern patterns for molds and prototypes/fit-check models.*

Fastest Printing to meet Production Your Needs

Print algorithms developed specifically for jewelry workflows enable Figure 4 Jewelry to print at 16mm/hr at 30µm layer - up to 4x faster than comparable printing systems for a full platform of rings.

High Quality Jewelry Patterns

Produce superior jewelry prints with best-in-class surface finish. Figure 4’s non-contact membrane technology, combined with exclusive MicroPoint™ support structures, minimizes part-to-support interaction, resulting in the smoothest sidewalls and finest resolution for jewelry applications.

Ultra-Fine Detail

Proprietary print build styles developed specifically for jewelry, both for thin, delicate geometries, as well as thicker geometries, enable optimized jewelry prints with detail for settings, sharp prongs, fine mesh and more.

Reduced Production Labor Costs

MicroPoint ultra-fine tip support structures enable both easy support removal and smoother surface finish, reducing downstream labor costs and production time by minimizing polishing of support intersection points.
