This Friday we are taking a look at some of the amazing rings by Shapeways designers 3D printed in a range of metals.  Speaking of metal, first up we have some very rock and roll looking rings by SG Designs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"sterling
<\/a><\/p>\n

The Kat Von D Replica engagement ring<\/a> shown here 3D Printed in Sterling Silver<\/a> has been set with a black diamond and a patina added to make it look AMAZING.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ruby Corpse ring<\/a> also by SG Designs is also a stunning example of what can be achieved with post production to 3D printed Sterling Silver.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

a A little less Gothic but no less precious is the The One Ring<\/a> 3D Printed in Stainless Steel and Gold Plated Stainless Steel<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, check out this beautiful Chaos Star Ring<\/a> and the inspiring story behind it by R.Kurczewski. <\/span><\/p>\n

“A friend of mine always dreamed about a jewelry set with a chaos star theme (8 arrows pointing outwards, symbolizing possibility of making all choices AND at the same time reminding that if you make one- you can not choose any other). I did a 3d model and decided to give a try to polished silver material. Now- modeling was an easy (and very pleasant) part, I did it in Blender so export AND sizing went perfectly well. You can see original model and renderings here. I must admit I have not seen a printed model- I ordered a “gift” to be sent directly to my friend so I was totally blasted when I’ve finally seen that does not really give it a justice- details are TINY (imagine that entire loop sits on very, VERY tiny, female finger) I was afraid I might break it with my clumsy hands (groundless worry, it has proven to be rather sturdy piece), and yet so crisp. Honestly- even thou I’ve been working with 3d printing for last like… 5 years or so, I am just AMAZED. The only wish I have is to have other metal materials being as precise as silver. Anyway- back to designing other pieces for that set…”<\/em> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
