“Shapeways, a 3D-printing marketplace and community that emerged from a tech incubator of the Dutch electronics giant Philips, has added precious metals to its material options. As well as 14-karat gold and sterling silver, jewelers – and others – can now work with platinum, 18-karat gold, 14-karat rose gold and 14-karat white gold. Shapeways said the latest additions means it offers the most options for 3D jewelry printing. The company’s system also means that jewelers do not need to maintain inventory. They can either print the products as needed or sell through Shapeways. Most of the metal items on Shapeways are 3D printed using a wax casting process.”
