Precision Empowers Intelligent Manufacturing: In-depth Analysis of Key Factors for White Wax 3D Printers and Benchmark Applications in the Jewelry Industry

2026-01-16

I. In-depth Dissection: Core Factors Affecting the Printing Precision of White Wax 3D Printers

The printing precision of white wax 3D printers directly determines the final quality and casting qualification rate of precision products such as jewelry. It is jointly influenced by multiple dimensions, which can be mainly categorized into four types. Currently, the mainstream 3D printing technologies for jewelry in the industry are divided into DLP continuous photopolymerization type and MJP wax jetting type, with differences in the key influencing factors between the two technical schools. The detailed analysis is as follows:

(I) Core Hardware Performance: The Foundation of Precision

Hardware performance is the core prerequisite for determining printing precision, directly affecting the reproduction accuracy and stability of molding details. The performance difference of key components is the core reason for precision stratification.

1. Optical/Jetting Core Components: The Core of School Differentiation

For DLP continuous photopolymerization machines, the resolution of the optical engine (e.g., 4K/2K), the deflection accuracy of the DMD chip micromirrors, the wavelength stability of the UV light source (385nm/405nm), and light uniformity play a decisive role. The higher the resolution, the smaller the micromirror unit, and the finer the projected pattern details; uneven light irradiation may lead to incomplete or excessive local curing, thereby causing dimensional deviations and affecting the final precision.

For MJP wax jetting machines, the core influencing factors focus on the nozzle aperture size of the wax jetting printhead, the consistency of microdroplet jetting, and the positioning accuracy of the printhead movement. The smaller the nozzle aperture, the more precise the volume control of a single wax droplet, enabling the printing of finer structures; uneven jetting will result in microdroplet accumulation marks, directly reducing surface precision and detail expression.

2. Precision Motion System: Key Guarantee for Layer Precision

The motion system, centered on the Z-axis system, its positioning accuracy, repeat positioning accuracy, and lifting stability directly determine the layer precision. Equipment adopting high-precision ball screws and linear guides can control the Z-axis motion error within the micrometer level (±0.025mm), effectively avoiding layer lines caused by uneven layer thickness; gaps or vibrations in the motion system may lead to layer misalignment and detail collapse of the model, seriously affecting precision.

3. Release/Separation System: Supplement for Surface Precision and Stability

In DLP machines, the quality of the oxygen-permeable release film and the release process are crucial. A high-quality release film can form a uniform "oxygen dead zone" to achieve stress-free separation, avoiding scratches and deformation on the model surface; MJP machines rely on the uniformity of cooling separation. Uneven cooling speed will cause inconsistent local shrinkage of the wax mold, thereby leading to dimensional deviations and affecting overall precision.

(II) Material Properties: Key Adaptation for Precision Implementation

The performance of white wax resin (for DLP) or molten wax (for MJP) directly affects the dimensional stability, detail reproduction, and subsequent casting adaptability of the molded model, serving as an important link in precision guarantee.

Curing/solidification shrinkage rate is a core indicator. The lower the shrinkage rate, the smaller the dimensional deviation of the printed model. The shrinkage rate of high-quality jewelry-specific white wax resin can be controlled within 0.1%; if the shrinkage rate is too high, complex structures (such as filigree and hollow parts) are prone to deformation and cracking.

Viscosity and fluidity need to be accurately matched with equipment parameters. For DLP resin, excessively high viscosity will result in poor leveling and loose interlayer bonding, while excessively low viscosity may cause glue overflow and blurred details; the molten fluidity of MJP wax must remain stable, otherwise, nozzle clogging or uneven wax droplet diffusion may occur, affecting printing precision.

Photosensitivity/molten stability is also critical. The photosensitivity of DLP resin needs to match the wavelength of the UV light source; insufficient photosensitivity will lead to incomplete curing, resulting in low model strength and large dimensional deviations. MJP wax must have a narrow melting temperature range to avoid sudden changes in fluidity caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring jetting precision.

(III) Process Parameter Settings: Core Regulation for Precision Optimization

Even with qualified hardware and materials, unreasonable process parameters can significantly reduce printing precision, which needs to be accurately adjusted according to the machine and material characteristics.

The layer thickness parameter needs to balance precision and efficiency. The smaller the layer thickness, the higher the precision and the clearer the detail reproduction, but the longer the printing time. The jewelry industry usually adopts a layer thickness of 25-50μm; excessively large layer thickness will lose fine textures such as micro-inlay slots, affecting product texture.

Exposure/jetting parameters need targeted adjustment. For DLP machines, the exposure time and light intensity must match the resin characteristics; insufficient exposure will lead to incomplete curing and model deformation, while excessive exposure will cause "over-curing" and blurred detail edges. For MJP machines, the jetting frequency and printhead movement speed need to be adjusted synergistically to avoid excessive wax droplet overlap or spacing, ensuring surface precision.

Support structure design has a significant impact. Over-dense supports may damage model details during removal, while under-dense supports will cause deformation and collapse of suspended structures. The density, position, and shape of supports must be accurately designed according to the model structure.

(IV) Environment and Post-processing: Final Guarantee for Precision Implementation

Environmental conditions and post-processing processes are easily overlooked but have an undeniable impact on the final precision, serving as an important link in the precision closed loop.

Environmental temperature and humidity must be strictly controlled. For DLP machines, the resin temperature needs to be stabilized within the optimal range of 25-30℃; temperature fluctuations will change resin viscosity, and excessively high humidity will affect curing effects, resulting in sticky model surfaces. For MJP machines, the environmental temperature must be controlled to avoid internal stress caused by rapid cooling of the wax mold, leading to deformation deviations.

Post-processing processes must be standardized. For DLP models, the cleaning (removal of uncured resin) and post-curing steps need precise control; incomplete cleaning will leave residual resin, and improper post-curing parameters will cause additional shrinkage. For MJP models, support removal and polishing must be carefully operated to avoid scratches or deformation, ensuring the final precision meets standards.
