Metal Casting/ Plating
B3D Labs creates highly detailed 3D models and print-ready patterns for jewelry and metal casting workflows. We work with jewelers, designers, and manufacturers to develop digital files and resin prints used in casting processes.
Our team produces detailed models, prepares casting-ready prints, and ensures dimensional accuracy for downstream mold-making and metal production.

Frequently Asked Questions
We produce the plastic models and investment casting patterns used to cast a piece in metal; the actual metal casting is done by a foundry partner. We handle the design, prototyping, and pattern work that gets a piece ready for that process.
Investment casting is a process that uses a precise pattern, often 3D printed in resin, to create a mold into which metal can be cast. It's the standard method for producing detailed metal pieces like jewelry, small parts, or sculptural components, and we produce the patterns that feed into it.
Yes. We can 3D scan an existing metal object, then reproduce it as-is or modify the design before producing a new casting pattern, useful for replicating a piece or adjusting a design without starting from scratch.
Patterns are typically printed in castable wax or a burnout resin designed specifically for the casting process, so the pattern burns away cleanly and leaves an accurate mold cavity for the metal.
