3D Printing and design company Polychemy truly push the boundaries of personalization by using 3D printing technology to create [name necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-of-personalized-jewelry). 3D printing allows for more flexibility and customization when designing products at a lower cost.

Choose from a list of already designed templates on the Polychemy website and enter your name or the word you’d like printed on your pendant. The design is digitally sculpted on a computer software, then printed with a special 3D Printer. The physical product is printed layer by layer in the selected materials—gold-plated brass or sterling silver.

3D printing technology has enabled Polychemy to create everything from jewelry to cellphone cases in an unconventional and innovative way. These [necklace pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colby-davis) represent a technology that was only recently developed.
