Lionel T Dean's 3D-printed gold collection aims to transform the jewellery industry

- Digital manufacturing could "reshape the jewellery industry," says designer Lionel T Dean, who has created a collection that is 3D printed in 18 carat gold.
Dean designed the pieces as part of a project called Precious, a collaboration between five companies including software provider Delcam and precious metal supplier Cooksongold, which is aiming to modernise the UK jewellery industry.
The first range, which includes items by Dean and other designers, was unveiled in August at Birmingham City University's School of Jewellery.
"We're here today to launch our collection of 3D-printed gold artefacts to demonstrate to the UK jewellery industry the potential of 3D printing," Dean explains in the movie. "Additive manufacturing with metal allows you to create forms that would be almost impossible to create by conventional means."
While the jewellery industry has used 3D printing to create moulds for a long time, Dean says it has been much slower to take up printing directly with metal.
"The jewellery industry was one of the early adopters of additive technology, using it in an indirect sense," he says. "So printing waxes and casting from those waxes. It's been more reluctant to adopt direct metal processes."
One of the reasons for this is the high value of the raw materials. Initially, Dean tried using a regular laser-sintering machine to produce his jewellery, but the wastage was too high. Cooksongold provided a laser-sintering machine called the Precious M080, which it developed together with 3D printer manufacturer EOS specifically for use with precious metals.

literally
wow! they are such beautiful piece of arts
3D printing is not an art.
Это тоже самое на концерте Бетховена слушать фонограмму,или обладать картиной Мона Лизы на печатной на принтере
Neat and this was 8 years ago.
Are there any printing services that use gold DLMS machines? Shapeways seems to do more lost wax casting rather than direct printing.
just wondering what happen to the gold dust inside? is it blown away before they close the piece gap
It’s very beautifful
how long does it appx. take to 3D print a gold ring?
sir I want to learn this software plzz help know I work in Rhino 5
I work in jewelry. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a machine like this
Start saving, these things cost several hundred thousand dollars.
You need to be already loaded in order to start such a business jewelry ain't cheap
Where i can have this print service ? Not shapeways or imaterialise
I am a student with logistics issues. I live 8n a small apt. Other than fine .999 silver I am not permitted heavy tanks in ky small residence. I had an Idea: using my Rhino software i use my 3D printer make a positive jewelry piece asvwell as a negative of the same as a mold. If the mold is about 6/8 around dimentionally I can use a PRECIOUS METAL CLAY and a klin. Precious metal clay hardens. Once that happens klin firing is between 5% - 15% shrinkage for the organic clay to burn away leaving metal. I can place the Precious metal Clay in a Delft clay investment cylinder does that seem workable? A 3D printed mold negative from my original jewelery print, Precious metal clay folded in removed once dryed hard -- placed in a clay investment tubing and klin fired??
How much does the machine cost?
around 150k $
Friggin epic
nice!
ive thought of makinng custom coins to pound into rings with jewelry doowel
crushing a heart then getting it 3 printed in gold? am i the only one who thinks thats dumb?
no..
Meh. Not everything is for everyone... Never has been
😂😂😂👍👍👍👍 Me to how wierd!?
I suppose you could just 3d print a gold heart, then just hit it with a hammer.
Yea that was a lil bit dark...im not sure why that would be something they choose to help add to the experience...I dont want to know what these guys do in private🤣
We assume that a shape that would be impossible to make by hand is incredibly valuable, but if it's incredibly easy to make with a machine, then it will soon be seen as cheap.
Is this real gold?

MUSIC IS A BAD IDEA.
DISLIKE
Nobody talks about 3D printed items as less valuable. Jewellery. Furniture. Sculptures. Etc. 3D printed items are "cheap". Feels "cheap". Feels "dead". There is nothing to feel proud about. There is no achievement. Mastery. I will never buy a 3D printed jewellery. The totally other thing is highly technical things like rocket engines printed out of titanium.
The design and machine operation requires a lot of expertise and artistry. It takes training and practice. 3D printing is just another tool. Making new forms possible or old forms easier to make doesn't supplant the artisan.
Most of the wedding rings in videos shows that its handmade. But those are casted. They make CAD and Print and cast only. 👍 I'm a jeweller from India.
stop living in the past mate
Very ugly. Hand made is great.
