As we have said elsewhere, we designed the Neo to cut metal. Here is an example of how and why. This band could easily be cut in wax. The jeweler could then cast and finish the ring by traditional methods. A traditional approach that eat up your time - spruing and preparing a flask, weighing and mixing investment, vacuuming and burnout, alloying, casting, and cleanup. Machining in metal eliminates all of that work. Collect your filings and the overall metal use is nearly identical to traditional sprue and button casting.

Multiple tools cut your finished jewelry with suprising efficiency. Roughing with a large ball nosed tool is followed by two progressively smaller cutters to get a finished product that needs very little cleanup. This typical celtic wedding ring was cut in less than two hours. Imagine a design session with your customer in the morning and the ability to deliver the finished ring right after lunch. All done with lower costs that mean higher margins.

Why don't others cut metal? Because they can't. Of all the popular jewelry mills and RP systems, only the Neo can set you apart with direct to metal technology.
