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.
