3D printing solutions allow for quick presentation of jewelry in front of customers as well as streamlining the design and creation of casting molds.
3D printing in jewelry
– what challenges?
01
Creating complex and unique designs
Jewelers often encounter demand for intricate, unique jewelry designs that are difficult to make using traditional methods.
02
Visualize projects in front of customers
Jewelers benefit from the ability to present the design to the customer early in an palpable form.
03
Reduce production time for patterns and models
Traditional methods of creating jewelry models, such as wax carving, are time-consuming and require manual precision.
04
Personalization of jewelry on request
Increasing demand for personalized jewelry (e.g., with initials, unique designs or custom sizes) requires flexibility in production.
05
Minimize material losses
In the production of jewelry, especially from precious metals, it is important to maximize the use of materials.
3D printing solutions in jewelry
3D printers can reproduce even the finest details without dimensional deviations.
3D printing allows for quick and accurate customization of designs, enabling the creation of one-of-a-kind jewelry products.
3D printing allows for precise reproduction of even the most complex designs, enabling artistic freedom and custom orders.
3D printing makes it possible to create patterns and molds with minimal material waste, significantly reducing raw material costs.
With 3D printing, models can be created faster and more accurately, speeding up the entire design and production process.
3D printing is easy to implement in jewelry. No lengthy training on how to use the equipment is needed – Stratasys, Formlabs, UltiMaker and BLT products are plug&play.

200 commemorative medals cast in bronze
Production of vulcanized rubber molds based on 3D printed patterns.
We had 200 commemorative medals to make, where elements printed on the Formlabs Form 2 3D printer were used as templates.
Our studio handled the design preparation and delivery of the prototype medals. These, in turn, made it possible to produce molds of vulcanized rubber on which the commemorative medals were cast in bronze.
