Jewelry brands initially focused on bespoke and handcrafted pieces, drawing designs and making models in wax before committing to short-run production of pieces, but the industry is shifting towards digital, combining emerging tools with traditional processes.

With advances in 3D printing technology, major jewelery retailers and brands have realized the benefits of moving from CAD to 3D printing, bringing new collections to market faster and more affordably than ever before.

How to Set Stones on Resin Printed Parts?

In today’s jewelry trends, stone designs maintain their indispensable place for final consumers and manufacturers. Achieving the best casting results of stone designs requires the simultaneous execution of many production processes.

Uniway JetCast 1000 Red Resin enables the production of flexible products thanks to the high wax content in its formula. Its structure combined with the superior Uniway algorithm prevents possible situations such as shrinkage during the printing process. Since the resulting models of equal length and size will have equal stone slots, the stone arranging process becomes very easy. For large workshops that work by stockpiling, problems such as shrinkage of stone slots or changes in the size of lock systems are not experienced with Uniway Jetcast Resin.

Stone Tolerance

Stone tolerance in our resin, based on our settings is (0.10 mm). For example, if you use 1.20 mm diameter stones in your 3D design, you can set 1.10 mm diameter stones on your resin.  

Prongs Settings Arrangement

In this case, the size of prongs must be 0.05 mm bigger than the normal, also the interference of prongs with stones should be 0.1 mm.

Cutter Setting

Prongs are created must be exactly face to face.
