Gold casting has always been about precision and artistry. But in recent years, technology has given jewellers and artisans a powerful new tool: SLA 3D printing. With its ultra-fine detailing and castable resin capabilities, SLA is now the go-to method for gold casting across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.


From intricate bridal jewellery to personalised pieces, SLA printing delivers unmatched accuracy — right from digital design to final gold casting.


Why SLA printing is ideal for gold casting

Gone are the days of hand-carved wax masters. With SLA (Stereolithography) technology, designers and karigars get:

·       Smooth, high-resolution prints

·       Complex geometries that handcrafting can’t achieve

·       Reliable results with every batch

·       Clean burnout using castable resins

Whether you're based in Zaveri Bazaar, Colaba, Vashi, or Borivali, you can now produce casting-ready models in just 1–2 days.


Key applications in gold jewellery

·       Intricate engagement rings – Fine prongs, custom mountings, hidden settings

·       Antique-style patterns – Filigree, jali work, temple motifs

·       Custom pendants and initials – Monogrammed, personalised jewellery

·       Multi-part sets – Earrings, necklace, bangles printed in sync

·       Micro pavé settings – Stone placement layouts with tight tolerances

Designers simply provide a 3D CAD file and within hours, the SLA printer creates a flawless castable resin model ready for investment casting.

Best materials for SLA gold casting

·       Castable Resin (Blue/Purple) – Designed specifically for burnout, leaving minimal ash

·       High-resolution Standard Resin – Ideal for visual approvals before final casting

·       Wax-Blend Resin – Perfect for smoother burnout and traditional karigar techniques

These materials ensure sharp edges, delicate textures, and minimal post-processing during casting.

Local SLA print labs in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai

Jewellery makers across the region now rely on professional SLA print labs located in:

·       Dadar

·       Fort

·       Ghatkopar

·       Thane & Nerul

You send your file today and pick up or receive your print tomorrow.

Case example: Custom wedding jewellery

A custom jeweller in Charni Road needed a personalised mangalsutra pendant with initials and fine work. A local SLA service in Andheri East printed the castable model within 36 hours. The casting came out perfect on the first try, saving time, gold, and customer wait time.

Final thoughts: SLA printing for gold casting

For jewellers who demand perfection, SLA printing offers control, speed, and detail that manual methods can’t match.

In Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, embracing SLA printing means:

·       Faster design-to-casting cycles

·       Fewer casting errors

·       More freedom for creativity

·       Higher satisfaction for clients

When gold is your canvas, SLA printing for gold casting is your most reliable brush.
