A striking cellular cuff inspired by microscopic cellular structures and created using computer simulation and 3d-printing.
this bracelet is size MEDIUM also available in size LARGE
The C-shaped design fits close to the skin, is light-weight and uses minimal material. It was built up layer by layer from stainless steel powder using 3D printing and fused in a kiln. The two layer form of the cuff would be impossible to create by traditional manufacturing methods. Its outer surfaces have a smooth, polished finish which contrasts with the unpolished interior to create an intricate, 3-dimensional cuff.
It is a part of our Cell Cycle collection which was inspired by the intricate mineral forms of Radiolarians. The form is the result of a physics simulation of the forces in a cellular network of springs. Using our custom software, we created the Spiral Cuff by morphing, twisting, and subdividing; transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.

this design optimized for printing in stainless steel but is also great in the "Strong & Flexible" family of materials

This pendant features a mobius style spiral that can enclose a 6mm ball which jingles and jangles when worn.
If you'd prefer a right hand spiral, please see; http://www.shapeways.com/model/169011
NOTE: Shapeways have decided that this model is unprintable with the ball enclosed. This model will take a 6mm steel ball which can be fitted by gently forcing open the spiral... see video. A 5mm ball is available here; http://www.shapeways.com/model/172759 or simply use a suitable (4.5mm-6mm) ball bearing.
These filigree earrings look delicate almost like lace, yet are flexible and very resilient and should last you a life time assuming a monkey doesn't eat them. They are so light that you wouldn't even know you are wearing them.
Here they are shown in the "White Strong & Flexible" material, but are also available in other colors as well as silver.
They are each about 1.5 inches long and .75 inch wide.
An ornament reminiscent of a tree, lightning and coral in its appearance. The design is quite flat and would suit well as a wall hanging...or a huge pendant!
