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.
