Now, with the powerful capabilities of 3D printing, a designer can go straight from an idea to an actual product ready for the consumer in the matter of months &#8211; with very little money out of their own pocket.<\/p>\n<p>The Design, Print, Profit project begin with drawings on paper \u2014 possibly the shortest segment of the process \u2014 before moving quickly into 3D modeling. From the 3D models, multiple test prints in plastic (in numbers close to the 40&#8217;s) are produced to help develop form and fit. This process ensures that the final result is exactly as the designer had intended; and only takes a fraction of the time that traditional prototyping (making molds, forging by hand, etc.) would take. Once the final form has been decided upon, the file is sent off to Shapeways to be 3D printed and produced in metal; resulting in a beautifully finished product ready for market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23116\" alt=\"RingEventFlyer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-662x1024.png\" width=\"625\" height=\"966\" data-wp-pid=\"23116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-662x1024.png 662w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-323x500.png 323w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-625x965.png 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-174x270.png 174w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer-517x800.png 517w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/RingEventFlyer.png 792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Design, Print, Profit is <a href=\"http:\/\/clatl.com\/atlanta\/design-print-profit\/Event?oid=16353154\">showcasing<\/a> a series of rings made my Georgia Tech students this Friday.
