Together with Digital Forming, who will supply the software technology, and Assa Ashuach Studio, who will contribute with their design expertise, Argos is partnering with EOS, one of the main global producers of DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) industrial 3D printers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere has been a lot of excitement about 3D printing and we are just beginning to explore the mainstream application of these techniques,\u201d<\/em> Neil Tinegate, Head of Digital Innovation at Argos, said. <em>\u201cWe are launching the site this week with our partners in the consortium as a trial, to gauge how customers want to engage with it.

The available models, which include includes bangles, pendants, rings, cufflinks, and earrings are priced from \u00a350 to \u00a3220.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cArgos is leading the way with this project and we are proud to be working with them to bring new 3D printed bespoke products to consumers,\u201d<\/em> Lisa Harouni, CEO of Digital Forming, added. <em>\u201cWe have used revolutionary manufacturing processes to power this website and we are excited by the potential to engage customers in a new way \u2013 by inviting them into the design process of their products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Argos is not the only huge company to test a 3D printing-based business models.
