Event: How To Print and Cast Jewelry With Castable Wax Resin (Webinar) Date/Time: Wednesday October 24th, 11:00 – 12:00 UK time FREE REGISTER There’s no doubting 3D printing has the potential to replace your traditional jewellery manufacturing methods, and in turn bring about significant cost savings and faster workflow. But you
Prototyping optically transparent components isn’t as easy as opaque ones. Traditional manufacturing methods like CNC machining and laser cutting achieve different levels of translucency, and greatly limit the possible geometries available. These manufacturing methods are also time intensive, with one prototype taking an average 4 days to complete. Ontario-based Nix
