The process of manufacturing handcrafted 18ct gold wedding rings is a method widely used by small scale and self-employed manufacturers, this manufacturing method has low investment in labor, equipment, tools and physical space, but this method becomes a both outdated when improvements are needed, in this case the alliance manufacturing process through micro-casting and machining is considered to be one of the efficient ways to produce on a medium scale and requires a slightly larger investment in equipment, and tools that eliminate some processes. idle, generating a higher production volume and a superior finish compared to the artisanal production method.
