A 3D printer is a computer-controlled machine that builds objects layer by layer. The stacking of these layers on top of each other, creates a 3D structure. These layers are very thin, making them almost invisible, and the printed object appears seamless. 3D printing can create complex designs, including highly intricate forms with interlocking and movable parts. Jewelry and accessories are being produced all over the world, making this next generation jewelry, highly accessible.
