3D printing technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, and we're hearing and seeing it more and more often. It seems that the technology is gaining attention and being increasingly adopted in the fashion industry around the world.
VOJD Studios, a jewelry brand founded in Berlin in 2013, actively utilizes 3D printing technology and has collaborated with renowned luxury brands. Examples of collaborations include a large, mirrored belt with Belgian designer A.F. VANDEVORST, and earrings with New York fashion designer Prabal Gurung featuring 3D printed brass and silver accented with colorful Swarovski pearls.
In 2015, the brand collaborated with Swiss luxury brand Akris, creating a 3D-printed ring that became a hot topic at Paris Fashion Week. The ring is a masterpiece crafted from a geometric, delicate, and intricate polyhedron. In fact, this piece was inspired by the Naoshima Pavilion, designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. Crafted from sterling silver and colorful polyamide, it is Akris' first 3D printed piece.
Accessories like this, which previously required elaborate techniques close to traditional craftsmanship, can now be produced more cheaply and in less time than ever before thanks to advances in 3D printing technology. This groundbreaking technological advancement opens up new possibilities for emerging brands and designers.
