A Comparative Study Of "manual Craftsmanship" And "3D Printing Technology" In The Realization Of Jewelry

Jewelry is made by means of handmade in the past,and thousands of years people use this way to make jewelry.Which generates a lot of exquisite jewelry production process,such as filaments process,carve engraves,gold and silver in the wrong process,point cui process,forging process and so on.With the development of computer and network technology in the 20 th century,the birth of 3D printing technology,3D printing technology due to the maturity of conditions get rapid development,its production efficiency is high,the modelling is more abundant and save the cost,The application of 3D printing technology is more and more widely.With application of 3D printing technology is more and more widely,it gives jewelry designer with both opportunities and challenges.Opportunity is a jewelry that can not be produced by technical limitations.It can be made by 3D printing.Opening our jewelry designer's thinking,Giving our jewelry designer a broader platform.Challenge is 3D printing jewelry makes jewelry designer reducing admittance threshold,with the popularity of 3D printing,everyone can become a designer,will put our inspiration into jewelry design,We pay more attention to innovation of jewelry design,outstanding creative thinking.This paper is the main line of Chinese jewelry in the way of“handmade”.The process of writing handmade ornaments from the initial extensive to the refined and diversified.Reviewing the handmade ornaments.The 20 th century brought us new ways of making jewelry.The emergence and maturity of 3D printing technology.Modern technology brings opportunities and challenges to jewelry design,which leads to the two kinds of jewelry realization methods:“manual process”and“3D printing technology”.And respectively from “manual process” and “3D printing technology” in the application of materials,production technology,aesthetic comparison study,application examples of wire inlay enamel jewelry production,“eye” elements of the wedding ring production,“dragon” elements of jewelry production to study “manual process” and “3D printing technology” in the jewelry realization way of exploration.Finally,it summarizes the “manual process” have no alternative,“3D printing technology” is a good complement to “manual process”,and the combination of the both,its guiding significance on the jewelry making now.
