Coming soon to a desk near you is a 3D printer ready to create a prototype or even a finished product, requiring only the design to print out whatever your heart desires. For those of us who like to make things, or own things, serious ground is about to be broken as these miracle machines become better and cheaper.
Already widely used on an industrial level, it's only a matter of time until designers become familiar enough with this new tool to start creating pieces that were hitherto impossible, pushing the aesthetic boundaries of jewelry into some exciting new territory.
Starting Jan 13th, the Aram Gallery in London will be showcasing some new works from designers using 3D printing technology for jewelry and more. The "Print to Send/Send to Print" exhibit is a glimpse of what's to come.
Is that jewelry or a shoe?
