The use of 3D printers in the jewelry industry: gold products from the Nervous System

Nervous System is well known in the world of 3D printing. The last project of this company was the Kinematics project, which consisted in printing a compact system, which could then be decomposed, getting a certain thing larger than the printer allows with the usual printing method.

Now this project, or rather, the idea embedded in it, was used to create a gold bracelet. Of course, standard 3D printers do not allow working with gold, so the company used the direct laser sintering of metal (DMLS) in the jewelry industry.

This method, in turn, was developed by Cooksongold .

Here's what you can get with this method:



And here is how it is done:

Video with the presentation of the idea of ​​"printing" complex objects (the company calls it Kinematics), then deployed to any household items.


Idea from the Nervous System

As for the bracelet, in the announcement was one of his photographs, below the second:



Presumably, jewelry made by a similar method will soon be soon visible in all markets of the country, so to speak. In any case, there are no restrictions for the jeweler’s fantasy.

By the way, here is another product from the same company where 3D printing was used:



True, here the model of the ring was first “printed” from wax, the form was created, and then the ring was already cast from gold in form.
