“Small-batch production is often a challenge for manufacturers in the jewellery industry, as creating a specific mould for each unique part can be cost prohibitive. Incorporating the right AM technology can bring new design and production possibilities, as well as customisation options for clients.”

In this article in the Spring 2023 issue of Metal AM magazine, Chiara Armbruster, Sonja Kappler, Carlo Burkhardt, Gerald Mitteramskogler and Apollinaria Frydmann offer an overview of how the continuing rise of sinter-based AM technologies promises to open up the jewellery sector yet further, with new opportunities for both mass-market production as well as bespoke pieces.
