This week in the #Solidscape Instagram tag you can find examples ranging across the entire 3D printing jewelry making process: Idea, Design, CAD, Final Print, and Casting. What comes at the end? Let’s start at the beginning.
First, you need an idea of a product and a design and a visual representation of that idea to kickstart the process of bringing your idea to life. You can visually represent your idea on paper or in CAD software. Sasha.dolgikh shared a sketch of a beautiful earring design on paper pre-CAD.
Mobiusjewelrydesign shared their complex ring designed in Keyshot software.

Next, you print your design as a 3D model on a 3D printer. This week Robertglennltd shared a video of their Solidscape High Precision 3D printer printing out their ring designs.
When the printing process is finished and the support material is removed, your jewelry design is now a 3D wax model you can hold in your hand! Mobiusjewelrydesign’s 3D printed wax model of the same ring design.
