3D Systems’ ProJet MJP 2500W Plus is now available for purchase and immediate shipping. This new solution can produce intricate, high-quality, 3D printed jewelry patterns from pure wax with speed and precision for lost wax casting. The ProJet MJP2500W Plus is specifically designed to meet the specific requirements of the jewelry industry. It can create 100% wax casting patterns in just hours. This makes it possible to quickly create, iterate, and produce all kinds of jewelry styles, even the ones with the most complicated geometries.

The requirement for manual polishing can present a significant strain on resources – both on talent and materials. The ProJet MJP2500W Plus has a ZHD print mode that delivers a 2x vertical resolution improvement without increasing wax material consumption. Customers can produce more complicated designs with less polishing.

It is essential to meet both high-quality and demand standards. This requires quick design iteration, customization, and the ability of high-volume production batches. Customers can increase their throughput up to 25% with the ProJet MJP2500W Plus, as compared to other solutions. When used as part of 3D Systems’ comprehensive MultiJet Printing solution for jewelry casting – comprising the ProJet MJP 2500W Plus, VisiJet wax materials, and 3D Sprint software – customers can quickly and consistently generate micro-detail, precision, 100% wax sacrificial casting patterns for high capacity jewelry production.

ProJet MJP 2500W plus 3D prints in VisiJet 100% Wax materials. This allows you to print exact, razor-sharp edges with extremely crisp details and true-CAD jewelry patterns. VisiJet wax melts just like other casting waxes. There is no ash content to ensure that you get flawless castings. It can be used for casting fine features and is very durable. The high contrast colors make it easy to see fine details. 3D Systems’ 3D Sprint software capabilities also allow users to streamline their file-to-pattern workflow.

“Producing jewelry requires the ability to bring complex, creative designs to life,” said Scott Anderson, vice president, and segment leader at 3D Systems. “The global jewelry additive manufacturing market is estimated at over $2 billion and is growing quickly due to the increased productivity, quality, flexibility, and design freedom enabled by this technology. Today, we’re excited to announce the ProJet MJP 2500W Plus, with increased resolution and productivity that is unmatched in the industry. This innovation allows customers to create exceptional designs while simultaneously reducing production time and operational cost, which is essential for meeting the demands of mass-customization environments. Coupled with the reliable and repeatable direct casting of our 100% wax solution, users will be able to achieve cost-effective, high-quality casting patterns with quick turnaround and high throughput.”
