3D printing

7 Necessities is Dutch jewelry designer Atelier Ted Noten's answer to what every woman needs in her very own survival kit, to make it under any possible circumstance. Items that will let her "be her own man" while not having to sacrifice her own femininity. A variety of 3D-printed nylon objects and accessories aren't meant so much to wear but more to be thought provoking.

3D printing has hit the design field by storm and now it's going to hit your face (um, in a pleasant way, not violent) with Protos 3D Printed Eyewear. The layering 3D process can build a frame that's not only lightweight and durable, but it will make you a really cool pair of shades.

3D printing has taken design where we never thought it would go in recent years and it has boldly set up shop in the jewelry world. For companies like Toronto-based Hot Pop Factory, it makes the ability to produce affordable and unique jewelry a possibility, all from the comforts of their own home. Architecture school graduates Bi-Ying Miao and Matthew Compeau began their collaboration and Hot Pop Factory was born with its first collection, Stratigraphia.
