Rapid Jewelry3D Printing Design Competition
Rapid prototyping plays an increasing role in every discipline of design. Jewelry designers now use computer-aided modeling and 3D printing technology to produce unique geometry for designs that were previously impossible to create. It is revolutionizing the industry; taking an age old craft and bringing it into the 21st century.
This is technology-driven fashion! Help us highlight 3D printing as a new approach for designing visually stimulating statement pieces. Show the world your design by creating wearable art that is equal parts technology and fashion. We’re looking for the best uses of 3D printing for jewelry design — not another string of pearls.
Enter your design online. Finalists will be 3D printed and featured in a 4-city, nationally-traveling fashion show, where the 3 winning entries will be announced and highlighted. Finalists will also be featured in our national exhibition, online gallery, and pop-up retail stores. The 3 winning designers will receive cash prizes too!

Submission Guidelines & ProcessStep 1: Register for the competitionRegistration fees:• $15 for students• $25 for members of Design Museum Boston & SNAG• $40 for non-membersAfter completing the registration form, within 1 business day, you will receive your registration number, link to entry form, and invitation to a Dropbox folder where you will submit you files, along with a 30-day trial version of Keyshot 5, which we recommend using to create photo-realistic renderings for your entry.
Step 2: Design your pieceDesigns are not constrained to any particular type of jewelry piece or gender. In the entry form you will describe your piece and how it is worn. Your design must be created in CAD and 3D printable — no need to produce an actual piece for submission — although we do encourage you to prototype! We have three options for printing jury-selected designs: white resin, black resin, or cast & polished sterling silver. You must choose your finish when you submit your entry form — if you choose cast & polished sterling silver, your design must be cast-able. Note: we recommend saving your sketches, mock-ups, and prototypes — these could be included in the Rapid Jewelry exhibition should your entry be chosen by the jury.
Step 3: Create your submission filesYou must upload a .STL file of your design to your Dropbox folder. You must also create 3-10 renderings of your design to submit along with your 3D .STL file. Your renderings should show the piece from multiple angles and if possible show the piece on the human form. Renderings should each be saved as .JPG sized 1920 x 1080 pixels, 72dpi. We recommend using Keyshot 5 to create these photo-realistic images. All files should be named with your registration number, i.e. 123456.stl, 123456_1.jpg, 123456_2.jpg.
Step 4: Prepare your entry form, files, and submitAll entry files must be saved into your Dropbox folder before your submit your entry form. To submit, compete the entry form with your contact information, registration number, and entry description. Then you’re done!Note: you must have a separate registration number for each design you wish to submit.
