Binder Jet 3D Printing for Jewelry and Watchmaking
In 2023, Legor invested in a Desktop Metal Production System P-1, a high-speed, 1-liter binder jet 3D printing system featuring Single Pass Jetting (SPJ) technology. The experienced jewelry manufacturer notes that binder jet 3D printing technology offers several benefits over traditional manufacturing methods and other forms of 3D printing for jewelry production including:
- Rapid production of jewelry samples without molds or printing supports
- All-new design freedom for fast, affordable production of hollow, interlinked, intricate, and mass customized designs
- Elimination of processing steps associated with jewelry designs, such as welding
- Simplified production of materials that are difficult to work with, such as platinum, which often requires special tools
- Low waste production that is eco-friendly and uses only the necessary amount of metal needed to create the design
Legor’s
“Binder jet 3D printing technology represents a significant step toward more sustainable production,” he noted, “enabling energy efficiency, and reducing the amount of material used. Indeed, binder jetting uses exactly the amount of material necessary to create an object, drastically reducing waste. The metal powder not used in the process can be reused, reducing the need for new raw materials and the risks associated with metal extraction. At Legor, we advocate for 3D printing as a responsible production approach that also considers the planet and people.”
