Jointed Jewels by Alissia Melka-Teichroew
Qubique 2011: New York designer Alissia Melka-Teichroew of byAMT has added new designs to her collection of 3D-printed jewellery.
The selective laser sintering process enables complex objects to be created from plastic powder, which is gradually fused into a solid form by a computer-controlled laser.
Melka-Teichroew's original collection explored ways of producing jewellery with joints made from balls printed inside larger balls – see our previous story on Jointed Jewels
The necklaces and bracelets combine geometric forms with delicate detailing that would be impossible to manufacture in any other way.
Jointed Jewels was presented as part of Ventura Berlin at the Qubique design event – see all of our Qubique coverage here
