Greatest Printing Methodology
✔ Resin / SLA / DLP printing (extremely really useful)
✔ Wax printing for direct funding casting
Layer Top
0.03 – 0.05 mm (for high-detail gear tooth)
Orientation
Print the ring at a 15–30° tilt
Keep away from printing flat to protect gear element and scale back layer strains
Helps
Gentle to medium helps
Place helps on interior surfaces solely
Keep away from gear tooth and transferring joints
Clearance / Tolerances
Minimal clearance between transferring gears: 0.25 – 0.35 mm
Take a look at-fit really useful earlier than closing manufacturing
Submit-Processing
Light alcohol wash (don’t over-soak)
Absolutely remedy earlier than testing gear motion
Clear transferring elements with compressed air or ultrasonic cleaner
Gentle guide motion could also be required to free gears
Metallic Casting Directions (Misplaced-Wax / Funding Casting)
Really useful Metals
Silver (925 / 999)
Gold (10K, 14K, 18K)
Brass / Bronze
Casting Methodology
Misplaced-wax (funding casting)
Vacuum or centrifugal casting really useful
Sprue Placement
Connect sprue to interior shank space
Keep away from sprue contact close to gear mechanisms
Shrinkage Allowance
Scale mannequin by +1.8% to +2.5% relying on metallic
Burnout Cycle
Observe normal jewellery burnout cycle
Guarantee full wax removing from gear cavities
Submit-Casting
Ultrasonic cleansing really useful
Micro-filing could also be wanted for clean gear rotation
Ultimate sharpening with care round mechanical elements
CNC / Direct Metallic Printing (Non-obligatory)
Processes
DMLS / SLM (for stainless-steel or titanium)
CNC milling (prototype-level)
Notes
Enhance tolerances to 0.4 mm for metallic printing
Submit-machining sharpening required
Sizing & Customization
Default ring measurement: Resizable
Will be scaled to US / EU / UK sizes
Really useful wall thickness: 1.2 – 1.5 mm
Stone or accent elements will be changed or eliminated if required
High quality Test Earlier than Ultimate Use
✔ Gears rotate freely
✔ No fused tooth or blocked cavities
✔ Easy inner consolation match
✔ No sharp edges after sharpening
