3D printing has opened up new realms of possibility within accessory design, as proven by these 3D-printed ring jewelry designs from 3DWave.
The 'Encode Ring' website makes it possible for consumers to create a sound recording of their voice, which will then become the feature point of a soundscape-inspired 3D-printed ring design. Rings are available in stainless steel, stainless gold, as well as premium silver, 18K gold and platinum varieties.
In the past, 3DWave has launched several other 3D printing services for consumers, including ones that help them to create jewelry designs inspired by pets or generate 3D models from animated videos. This speaks to a number of new ways that jewelry design is being reshaped by additive manufacturing and other supportive technologies.
