Resin and metal direct 3D printed jewelry shines at Vicenza Oro jewelry fair 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

There are three main jewelry industry events in the world. One of these is the Vicenza Oro fair in Vicenza, Veneto, Northern Italy (the others are in the US and in Switzerland). Vicenza is one of Italy’s 3 jewelry manufacturing hubs (the others are in Valenza and Arezzo). With all these “3’s” it’s really no surprise that 3D printed jewelry is a hot topic in jewelry manufacturing and has been since almost two decades ago. At the T-Gold section of Vicenza Oro, the area where jewelry manufacturing systems are on display, a lot of the attention was on direct 3D printed jewelry in precious metals.

Nanoscribe’s TPP Technology Now Enables 3D Printing of Micro-Optics 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

The German company Nanoscribe is developing and producing high-precision 3D printing solutions enabling the micro-optics industry to innovate by additive manufacturing. Typically, the benefits of additive manufacturing are considered to be fast and flexible design iterations as well as freedom of design. But the usual 3D printing technologies available in the market fail to meet the resolution and precision requirements of optical applications. However, a broad range of almost arbitrary micro-optical shapes including standard refractive micro-optics, freeform optics, diffractive optical elements or even multiplet lens systems can now be printed in a one step-process by means of Nanoscribe’s Photonic Professional GT 3D printers, tailored solutions and materials.
