Let's talk about...laser cutting, engraving and sintering

CAD
Since I finally have photo of my laser engraved ring, I can finally talk about laser technology introductory tasks I had during the first week of the project. I won't talk about laser scanning, cause I don't have any pictures from that and laser welding - mainly because I haven't finished that task yet.To start off - laser cutting is a technology allowing...

Let's talk about...Jewellery adverts and Goldsmiths' entries development

As you hopefully remember, I want to enter my past and current project to Goldsmiths' competition, so just before Christmas I was working a lot on getting my renderings done (we unfortunately can't get access to Matrix at home due to licensing issues), and getting my head around how to convey movement of my spinning pendant and how to show everything that needs...

Let's talk about...refining design and creating collection

After wonderful Christmas break from work, I'm finally back to work. I still haven't started Uni, but that certainly doesn't mean I'm off the hook, so to get back on track, a bit of recap on what I was working on before Christmas.  As soon as I take decent photo of model printed on Ember, I'll post it.

Hand-drawn jewellery rendering is very time consuming process - it's much easier to create render using specialistic software, like Matrix V-ray styles or Keyshot. But one doesn't always have availability of those software, which is why it's good to know how to create render by hand. It's not that difficult - one should just have basic understanding of light and shadow and how...

Let's talk about...Design in context - bracelet development

I'm quite happy with my progress this week - I did fair amount of CAD work and started printing models using Up! printer. They aren't perfect as Up! is much better for simple stuff and models rather than something as complex as my design. But it definitely gave me something to work from - I know now that I need to make joining...

Let's talk about... Design in context - development work

These past 2 weeks were very busy - one would think that after finishing CAD skills project and just before Christmas Design in context would be a nice and easy project to finish off year, but it seems like hard work just started. Finally, we get a chance at more hands on approach - designing in CAD is big part of it, but...
