Stop Thinking Yourself Out Of It!
It’s more than just ‘being good’.
Great message to all creatives out there.
Stop Thinking Yourself Out Of It!!!
For the last few weeks after life drawing I've been taking part in online webinars with Ryan Kingslien, Tomas Wittlesbach and Tony Rodrigues on how they create stunning jewellery in ZBrush and with 3D printing. Tomas Wittlesbach has a background in the film industry as a master sculptor and moved into ZBrush a few years back and started creating incredible pieces with Jim Tuttle of Green Lake Jewelry Works. Tony Rodrigues is a master goldsmith who also works with Tomas using 3D printing and traditional techniques to create pieces in his workshop. You can buy their jewellery here at Ink Metal and If your'e interested you can watch both webinars here and here.
One of the questions I asked was do you think 3D printing is a threat to traditional jewellers? To which Tomas replied he thinks it already is but then goes on to express how much he doesn't like badly designed cad jewellery. I also asked what is the best way to begin manufacturing your own pieces, is it best to go to a company like Shapeways or to invest in a 3D printer and go to a jeweller. That question wasn't answered but I was sent an email with a breakdown on how to go about it in a few steps.
So, here are a few tips from Tomas and Tony about starting out.
Desktop 3D Printers are amazing but are primarily there to help you in the development process NOT necessarily the production process.
When you are ready, take your 3D files to a service bureau like Casting House.
Know your focus, do you want to be a sculptor or do you want to know all the processes? You can't do both.
Consider a Micromotor over a Foredom
Get a Benchmate.
Make friends with a Jeweler! This will be a long journey so it is good to have company.
