Prospects of Jewelry Designing and Production by Additive Manufacturing

Abstract

Innovation in the designing process and its strategic implementation opens diverse possibilities. This concept in the jewelry and artifacts can reap enormous benefits when used with additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. AM has established its proficiency in various manufacturing sectors, medical fields, and art as it offers freedom, customization, and quick changes in design. This study investigates the use of additive manufacturing in jewelry modeling, jewelry design, and manufacturing. Additionally, modeling of ornaments has been carried out by using Rhinoceros software. We also provide a brief overview of the use of smart jewelry. These days, smart medical alert devices like smart watches could be developed as an ornamental and health device. These are used to check various health conditions like temperature, heart rate, calorie burn data, and sleep cycle. Furthermore, with AM, they can be customized and manufactured based on the individual customer's requirement. Similarly, for other ornamental devices, this will open a new field with enormous scope.

The Influence of Aesthetics and Apparent Usability on Jewelry Design Preference

“…The prediction equation derived in this study can be useful to predict the purchase intention of customers shopping for jewelry. Still, we limited this study to handmade glass jewelry rather than that made of other materials like transparent plastics (as demonstrated by Fatma et al, 2021). It is possible to replicate this study to establish the role of apparent usability and aesthetics in customer choice for other types of jewelry (E.g., those with additive manufacturing processes and applying various materials).…”

“…However, there is very little exploration of creative entrepreneurship that utilizes glass jewelry in India. In another context, scholars discussed designing jewelry manufactured through the additive process (Fatma et al, 2021).…”

Sustailient supplier selection using neutrosophic best–worst approach: a case study of additively manufactured trinkets

“…For the considered yellow gold trinket, the combination of used metals is Au 75.20%, Ag 12.10%, Cu 10.80%, and Zn 2.10%. Jewelry and other artistic components made from precious materials require very exclusive properties, such as high reflectivity, ductility, and high thermal conductivity (Fatma et al, 2021;Strauss, 2020). Due to these highly required properties, it is very much essential to get highquality raw materials.…”

Direct Metal Laser Sintering of Precious Metals for Jewelry Applications: Process Parameter Selection and Microstructure Analysis

“…Jewelry designers and companies can engage AM technology to offer more creative designs and customized products with high quality, reduced material, and even at a more affordable price [13]. These capabilities provided by AM technology make it an ideal solution for jewelry production [12], [14]. Over the past decade, building metal parts using AM technology has been extensively studied, and novel AM methodologies have been developed for the 3D printing of metals with improved accuracy and less processing time [15], [16], [17].…”
