several spots, especially near the wrist and over the head of the ulna. This measurement allows for the addition of holes in the bracelet that respond to the individual’s unique nuances in their anatomy. Next, the scanned arm or measured contours are used in the digital realm to design the jewelry based
Jewelry has long been seen as adornment and ornament for the body, attachments and additions that of jewelry and explores the possibilities made available by digital technology in design and manufac-
composition. However, there is a second layer to the design of the bracelet that produces a dichotomy precision of additive manufacturing, several versions of the same idea can be design and produced with varying levels of density, resolution, and complexity. By creating multiple versions and producrings. These lines of collections can be organized and logistically planned such that the 3D print bed has its entire envelope utilized and the manufacturing process is optimized. This leads to higher yields at lowered costs, thus providing a feasible and lucrative business plan.
While 3D printed jewelry exists in the market today, and can be purchased by anyone online, these options are quickly becoming standard in the market. They are little more than uncustomized and conventional designs with an aesthetic driven by mathematical logic and algorithms. The power of digital scanning and modelling technology, as well as the precision of the manufacturing tools, are not fully utilized by these designs. Instead of following this trend, [THIS PROJECT] takes the interface and infrastructure developed by existing options and adds to it by fully utilizing digital technology and additive manufacturing. In its entirety, the jewelry provides the wearer with highly customized and
Each piece of jewelry will be unique to the individual who wears it, thus adorning and enhancing that
