About Project

Designer Ci Yingzun has masterfully utilized the capabilities of Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing and translucent resin to create a collection of captivating bracelets. These pieces transcend traditional jewelry, showcasing the intricate possibilities offered by modern additive manufacturing techniques.

Each bracelet in the collection features a unique arrangement of organically inspired and geometrically abstract forms. The SLA printing process, known for its high precision and smooth surface finish, has allowed for the creation of delicate and detailed elements. From flowing, almost liquid-like shapes to sharp, angular facets, the complexity achievable with SLA is evident in every curve and edge.

The choice of translucent resin is central to the bracelets' aesthetic appeal. This material allows light to pass through, creating a subtle glow and revealing the layered intricacies of the 3D-printed structures. The translucency adds a sense of lightness and ethereality, making the bracelets appear almost like delicate sculptures adorning the wrist.

Adding another dimension to the design is the careful application of dyes in a variety of colors. Soft pastels like pink and blue mingle with earthy tones of brown and olive green, creating a harmonious yet visually interesting palette. The dyes interact with the translucent resin, resulting in a subtle diffusion of color and enhancing the play of light. This thoughtful color application further accentuates the unique shapes and textures of each bracelet component.

The individual elements of the bracelets are linked together with small metal rings, allowing for fluid movement and comfortable wear. The contrast between the smooth, colored resin and the metallic accents adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. Ci Yingzun's work demonstrates a keen understanding of material properties and manufacturing processes, resulting in pieces that are both aesthetically striking and technically innovative. These bracelets are not just accessories; they are wearable art pieces that highlight the potential of 3D printing in pushing the boundaries of jewelry design.

Solution

• Step 1: The initial design was created using CAD software.
• Step 2: The 3D model was then uploaded to the SLA printer.
• Step 3: A vat of liquid photopolymer resin was prepared.
• Step 4: The printing process was started, and the resin was selectively cured layer by layer by a UV laser.
• Step 5: Once the printing was complete, the part was carefully removed from the build platform.
• Step 6: Excess resin was drained from the printed part.
• Step 7: The part was then washed in a solvent solution to remove any remaining uncured resin.
• Step 8: Support structures, used during printing, were manually detached from the part.
• Step 9: The surface of the part was post-cured under UV light to achieve its final mechanical properties.
• Step 10: The translucent resin was sanded and then dyed in various colors.
• Step 11: Each dyed component was inspected for quality and color consistency.
• Step 12: The individual components were carefully assembled into bracelets using metal rings.
