The Study On The Relation Between 3D Printing And Jewelry Design

21st century human society has entered a new stage of development and information network covered the entire world. Globalization is the trend of the future. From production to final consumption, technological and social progress have changed various aspects of human life. In the jewelry industry, increasing level of consumer demands, indicating simply winning with production can no longer guarantee companies` profits. Consumers wish to purchase products matches their personal requirements, rather than the pursuit of popularity, homogenization of the product. Therefore, they are more eagerly to be involved in the product design process. In the tide of globalization, China’s jewelry industry both in terms of jewelry design and production processing have been affected by Europe and the United States. In the design process, we used the computer aided design softwares, such as Jewel-CAD, Rhino, etc; To cope with digital production, we also use 3D printing, in another word 3D printing service is an extension of computer-aided design. Today, 3D printing shows unlimited potential in a variety of sectors, many developed countries had already set their sights on 3D printing. In medical aspects, scientists are gradually using this technology print human organ sharing a good compatibility with human bodies, provides help with patients longing for expensive organs, also reducing the waiting time; in space technology aspects, United States NASA is developing 3D printer, these parts not only can come out fast, more important of is, due to production with of 3D printer lightweight portable, may in soon of future, Production and replacement of functional parts of the ISS in space can be finished in one; in Dietetics, nutritionist according to the optimum ratio of nutrient elements, 3D printers produce standard nutritional structure of food, on the basis of color, aroma and taste and to be able to maintain the balanced ratio of nutrient elements, solves people’s nutrition structure imbalance phenomenon. Not only that, but heritage conservation organization according to recover ancient artifacts of historical data, customized sports companies for athletes lightweight sneaker, jeweler in line with ergonomic principles to provide customers with exclusive customized service, which would require the support of 3D printing technology can truly easy, fast and efficient. What’s more, furniture, houses, cars and other stuffs you can use 3D printing. At this stage, also 3D printing in the world in the early stages of development, 3D printing in China is still at the exploratory stage, so the study of 3D printing enables you to better understand the advantages and disadvantages and limitations of this technology, ultimately to predict its future direction. 3D printing research in jewelry design also belongs to the early stages in the world. In the initial stages of application we have 3D printing advantages of custom products in the production process. As this technology matures, more advantages will emerge. The popularity of 3D printing can bring new innovations to the jewelry business, jewelry company should be in accordance with their own development plans for future development. However, the manual production will not be fully replaced by machines. Through the study of the technology 3D printer’s potential impact on the jewelry market, making it better applied to the jewelry design industry.
