Mcdermott, An American Designer Who Applies 3D Technology To Jewelry Design

A model shows the designer's "church made" shoulder.

According to the traditional manufacturing method, manufacturing an ordinary mouse shell requires seven or eight processes: plotting, making mud models, carving mouse prototypes, producing moulds, injecting molten plastics into moulds with pressure, and then cooling them.

With the help of 3D printing You only need to draw a 3D mouse diagram in the computer, press the "confirm" button, and wait for a while, a real mouse shell can be "printed".

Unlike traditional material removal technology, 3D printing transforms multidimensional manufacturing into a simple superposition from the bottom to the top, thus greatly reducing the complexity of design and manufacturing. At the same time, 3D printing can also create strange structures which can not be processed in traditional ways, especially for manufacturing key components of high-end products such as power equipment, aerospace, automobiles and so on.

In fact, in the United States and Britain and other countries, 3D printing technology has been widely applied.

As far as aircraft, racing cars, clothing and cell phone shells are concerned, manufacturers are developing new vitality through the easterly wind of 3D printing.

The traditional bracelet and necklace design is generally based on small size, but a designer in the United States subverts tradition and boldly puts Catholic Church into practice. Classical architectural elements mixed with jewelry design concept And use 3D to print the masterpiece.

However, the ornaments made of gypsum or glass fiber hot-melt adhesive are not cheap at all, and the price ranges from 700 to 5000 dollars (4353 to 31 thousand yuan).

　　 Designer Mcdermott Frankly speaking, only after designing the traditional ornaments and learning computer aided design technology, did 3D software begin to do the drawing design on the computer. At first, he would copy the building and make a hole in the middle so that the ornaments could be put on his hands. Then he gradually integrated into other elements, such as windows, stairs, brick walls, curtain and even arches.

Mcdermott's personal website says that his works imitate the elements of classical architecture, and customers can use their body space well when they wear them behind them, so that the people wearing them are full of personality.
