"Master Bai, this is not carving wax, but printing a wax model according to the designed structure, and there is no need to engraving. Du Mingxuan explained.

"I know about 3D printing!" Bai Shaoan said, "Last time they got an imported 3D printer, they also said that they could print wax patterns." As a result, when I printed it out, I saw that the wax model was still layered!"

"This print is just piling up layers of materials, right? No, top-quality jewelry, there can't be any flaws! If you wear layers of texture, who will buy it?"

"You're talking about 3D printers in general, and ours is specifically for jewelry manufacturing. Du Mingxuan pointed to the machine that was moving in and said, "Our wax model is printed with laser curing technology, not to mention with the naked eye, even with a magnifying glass, and the microscope can't see the layer lines, which are all in one." ”

"That's what those foreigners said last time. Bai Shaoan obviously didn't believe it, and his face was full of doubts, "As a result, that's it!"

Yang Jin smiled: "Is that the case, don't you know if you try it?"

"Yes, just give it a try. Du Mingxuan nodded.

They moved the machine into the workshop, and Yang Jin had a rough understanding of the machine's functions.

"Sister Yang, what sample are you going to make?" Du Mingxuan asked.

"Samples, I have a lot of decorations here......

"It's hard to use, the harder it is, the better, so that we can show the advanced performance of our machine!" Du Mingxuan said confidently.

"Huh, so confident?" Yang Jin became a little interested and said, "Is it really any difficulty?"

"All right! As long as you can design it, my machine can print it!" Du Mingxuan said.

"Then what do you think of this?" Yang Jin showed him the design of the "Golden Bead Under the Moon", "This is the earring pendant I designed, the Golden Bead under the Moon." ”

"Its structure is particularly complex, with carved patterns, hollowed-outs, curved surfaces...... It's been half a month since I spent and still haven't been able to make a perfect wax model, can your machine work?"

Seeing that Du Mingxuan boasted about his 3D printer so well, Yang Jin directly took this design out of town. It's not like she hasn't tried it with a 3D printer, but the results she got weren't ideal.

First of all, the problem of accuracy, the small pattern on the pendant, is designed by her with reference to the carving of ancient Chinese luxury jewelry, the design drawing is very beautiful, but to put it on a small pendant, the line has to be thinner than a hair!

When the 3D printer prints this, sometimes it will be blurry, and sometimes it will be deformed due to the material problem of the wax.

Another big problem is the problem of layering, the working principle of the 3D printer is to "cut" the 3D model of the product into layers of projection through the computer, and then use the corresponding materials to accumulate layer by layer.

During the accumulation process, lamination is created. The layer pattern printed by a 3D printer with poor performance will be very noticeable, which is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored in the manufacture of high-end jewelry.

Even if it is a little better, the layer pattern is not so obvious, and there are always defects, which are not as good as the wax models carved by masters like Bai Shao'an.

"No problem, let me prepare, Sister Yang, this requires your cooperation. Your precious design drawings need to be analyzed by a 3D printer. The associated gemstones are also scanned. ”

In Yang Jin's design, the cage-style hollow pendant arm is also inlaid with small crystalline gemstones. When making wax molds, grooves, often called inlays, are used to inlay these small stones.

There are subtle differences in the size of each stone's structure, and it is best to match the size and shape of the setting. Because these gems are too small, only a few millimeters in diameter, even Bai Shao'an is difficult to do, he can only try to make the gems set the most suitable.

"Good. But you can't back it up, it's my treasure. Yang Jin said in a joking tone.

"I don't dare!" Du Mingxuan said with a smile, "I hope that when I leave here, you will keep this machine by yourself, and I don't need to take it with me." ”

"Young man, don't talk too much. Bai Shaoan said.

"Master Bai, just look at it, the power of science and technology can open your eyes!"

They began to prepare, and the design of "Golden Beads Under the Moon" was connected to the Luban 3D jewelry printer, and the printer began to "slice" the 3D model, dividing it into countless patterns.

At the same time, the printer's own 3D scanner begins to 3D scan the jewelry used for setting, and the 3D data of each side of the gemstone crystal is entered, and the setting design on the earrings is perfected according to this data.

There was also the preparation of materials, and after a quarter of an hour, everything was ready.

"Is this ready?" Bai Shao'an frowned, "This is too unserious, isn't it? you at least understand this design, understand every texture, and ...... the difficulties in the design."

"Master, you're going to do wax carving, we're going to print it directly. In the process of machine building, there are not so many problems. A technician brought by Du Mingxuan said.

"Nonsense!" Bai Shaoan drank, "That's because you don't understand!"

"The knowledge here is complicated, and I don't dare to figure it out in my whole life! You can do it in ten minutes, and a machine can solve everything? What do you want people to do?"

The technician was criticized by Bai Shao'an, Du Mingxuan smiled and said, "Let's start printing, let Master Bai see our finished product." ”

Yang Jin did not participate in the argument, her expression was calm, waiting for the result. She doesn't have much expectations for the printer's products, and from the bottom of her heart, she believes in the products of foreign high-tech companies.

As for Du Mingxuan here, it was completely for Qi Junjie's sake and asked him to give it a try.

The 3D printer is working, the special wax material is packed into the material box, and the nozzle is working against the tray.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, wax versions of the jewelry are molded under a 3D printer.

Different from the traditional manufacturing process, the process of printing on a 3DF printer is like an ornament being covered by a curtain, and slowly pulling it up, and there are more and more visible parts.

Bai Shao'an was already frowning, but after looking at it for a few seconds, his brows not only did not stretch, but became even tighter.

However, Yang Jin's expression became more and more serious, a pair of dark and bright eyes stared at the printed part tightly, and she saw that the jewelry of her computer three-dimensional concept map was gradually taking shape!

The hollow design formed by the four curved arms, the exquisite culture and the small inlays, the wax version of the "gold beads" inside, now its material is colored wax, those who don't understand may think that it is a worthless plastic toy, but in terms of structure and design, it is exactly the same as Yang Jin's design drawing!
