I will go with 3D printing, the reason being that it has revolutionized the Indian jewellery industry.
Traditionally, a piece of jewellery was custom-made and designed as per the specifications and preferences of a buyer that involved several processes and many man-hours. The piece would then be painstakingly hand-carved and welded together. The original parts were sculpted by the kaarigars (craftsman). However, with the advent of Computer Aided Designing (CAD), manufacturers can now render a 3D digital piece of the jewellery. The 3D printer produces a thermoplastic wax mould of the jewellery. Metal is then poured into the mould and the design comes alive. A piece that would go through a long production cycle spanning many days now takes just 12 to 14 hours.
With CAD and 3D printing, the buyers can be a part of the entire process too, not to mention the level of customisation that can be offered to them. According to jewellery connoisseur Tanya Rastogi of Lala Jugal Kishore Jewellers, 3D printing makes the mould creation process much faster. Making exclusive pieces have also become easier as creating a mould now is a lot simpler than it was when one used wax moulds. Most customers want unique pieces, and this technology enables jewellers to create more designs. The 3D printing technology is going to have a massive influence in the jewellery industry in the next few years. 3D printing is finding its way into just about every aspect of jewellery manufacturing, thanks to the widespread adoption of CAD software among jewellery designers. 3D printing is changing and influencing consumers’ taste too. They have a lot more to choose from. The bar has been raised in the areas of design and creativity as more designs can be created at a lesser cost, point out jewellers.
