Prefered by design, dental and jewellery applications, SLA and DLP printers reveive recognition with their print quality. Being at a higher price than FDM printers, these devices can enter house now as well. How? With M-Jewelry combining print quality and reasonable price.
Different print techniques offer different advantages to 3D users. In this regard FDM is more advantageous in terms of price where SLA and DLP printers are better in complex designs. Thusly, these printer are not preferred by hobbyists. However, this might change with MakeX’s new printer M-Jewelry.
This printer from startup MakeX previously dealt with all aspects of 3D printer manufacturing with the M-One. Back in 2014, they were able to gather a massive $180,000 USD in Kickstarter pledges for that 3D printer. The M-Jewelry builds on that experience, and is also a compact, sleek quiet and efficient 3D printer that stands out due to its very appealing price tag. It has also been under development since 2014, and every new lesson from their MakeX’s Kickstarter challenge was incorporated into this new machine.

That resolution level is supported by a very conscious choice for DLP, rather than laser-based, systems. “The main advantage of DLP technology over laser is that each pixel can reach its accurate value,” MakeX’s Lynn Xu revealed. At the same time, their V-LED DLP system supports more than 20,000 hours of guaranteed 3D printing. Yet the 3D printer’s price tag will doubtlessly become its most appealing feature, as the M-Jewelry is easily several hundred dollars which is cheaper than competing models with similar capabilities
