3D Printing Sterling Silver: Fast Custom-Designed Products for Silver Jewelers
3D printing of silver ornaments is now common among already big and upcoming names in the jewellery industry in Dubai. 3D printing sterling silver is all about custom designing of any silver-made thing through a layer by layer wax model printing technique. The wax model carved out is then cast in silver to develop the finish and look of a real jewellery piece. While the modeling process is elaborate, the output justifies the pain and trouble taken. The service is mostly availed for jewel and ornament pieces by traders in UAE/ GCC/ Dubai in particular, though it is recently getting used for items like mirrors and circuit boards as well.
Samples: Sterling Silver
The designs we deliver are sculpted out of alloy rich in high-quality silver that is malleable to be curved into delicate designs. A little craftsmanship and handiwork is all it takes to add splendid details to the pieces.Typical Uses of 3D Printing Sterling Silver Service
There are basically two domains in which sterling silver 3D printing have found uses so far.
- 3d printing sterling silver is mostly used for jewelries and ornaments.
- Recently it has found uses in the manufacture of circuits because of the high thermal and electrical conductivity of the metal.
In most cases, an alloy of sterling and pure silver and copper is used in the ratio of 93:7. The reason why sterling silver is chosen is because it is skin-friendly and malleable. Besides, the bright and shiny property of the metal brings out high polish models that have the aesthetic potency required for customer’s attention. These pieces, different from original jewel pieces hardly have visible difference with their real counterparts in the stores. Hence, the presentation is near-accurate in all ways.
