Jewelry and 3D printing
Share
Whether in jewelry or jewelry, additive manufacturing is a technique increasingly used by professionals in the sector due to its ability to design complex and unique pieces, all more quickly. It is used in particular to produce molds then used for lost wax casting; prototypes to allow better visualization of rings, necklaces, bracelets; but also finished pieces directly integrated into a piece of jewelry. This variety of applications is explained by the diversity of printing processes used, but also the range of materials available. Stereolithography, for example, will be ideal for creating very detailed prototypes; laser fusion will allow work on finished pieces in metal, or sometimes even precious metal. In order to understand all the possibilities of 3D technologies in this sector, here is a selection of 3D printed jewelry!
3D printing jewelry begins with computer-aided design (CAD), where various software offers specific capabilities tailored to the varying needs of designers.
A piece of jewelry is much more than just a material object, it is a piece loaded with emotions and stories that reflects the personality of its owner. The choice of a piece of jewelry is therefore often motivated by the desire to mark an important moment in life or to celebrate a special relationship.
