Charlotte Asherson “2300” Silver Spray-Chromed Nylon SLS Jewellery.




Sketches/process.
Charlotte Asherson worked with Dovydas Pocius at D2W for this project. She had basic cad files and sketches of shapes with her idea jewellery design. She said that she had tried to produce her design by using traditional jewellery and silver smiting techniques, but her experimenting was too expensive and she wasn't contacted about her final product. She has some basic information about 3D printing and thought that her final product would be more effective the way she designed it.

Cad and design requirement.
Charlotte wanted her project to look manly and bulky. She even has a few particular stone fitting method ideas.
Charlotte wanted to 3D print her collection, have them asset case in silver, polished and the stone set into them. But as Douydos did the 3D modelling they noticed that her design was going to be extremely heavy.
The cost was not the issue, but the item would be unwearable because of its weight.
From the rendering made here, she could clearly see the faults in her collection. On the other hand, she could see how the design was going to look when finished.

3D printing.
The entire component was created using D2W's Wylon container system.
The collection had 20 different objects like:
·        Head pieces
·        Necklaces
·        Earrings
·        Bangles
·        Rings
