Featured Friday: Showing your 3D printed designs
It’s the end of the week and before you start off the weekend…let’s enjoy Featured Friday!
We found a really nice silver ring in our gallery, made by Joost Van Cauwenbergh, finished with a glossy look.
Our second design comes from Maaike van der Horn. She designed a constructionist bracelet in brass gold plated and polished. The design is inspired by modern architecture and its use of complex repetitive geometrical structures. van der Horn: “I am fascinated by how these structures can behave to create buildings and objects that look seemingly organic and unique. They can change their appearance depending on the angle you look at them.”
This bracelet is a perfect example where new techniques like 3D printing has opened up a world of design possibilities: it would be impossible to make using traditional jewellery techniques!
Last but not least: a bronze coin designed by Koenraad Van Daele named ‘The Kiss’.
Enjoy your weekend!

It’s friday aigain and you know what that means! Check out these gallerie entries and get inspired!
Willem Bossier designed a very nice heart to wear with a necklace. It’s designed in brass gold plated polished. A nice present for a loved one?
And apparently Willem wasn’t the only one designing hearts. André Greiner-Petter made a new version of ‘Heart of Time‘. “I wasn’t satisfied with my first attempt of the heart and looked for inspiration for a new ‘stand alone’ version. A good friend helped me creating this new design.” The heart is printed in polyamide.
Next to his ‘Heart of Time’ André Greiner-Petter also designed ‘Detective Coin’ in bronze, natural polished. “I’m a big fan of the ‘Detective Conan’ anime series (‘Case Closed’). On the back of this coin you can see the original Japanese symbols (called ‘katakana’) of the name ‘Conan’. He likes to say: ‘There is only one truth,’ so I used this sentence on one side of the coin. I modeled this for a good friend and design
A 3D printed coin with a story
What’s more special than 3D printing a gift for a wedding anniversary? Alice Salmon created, with her father, a high detailed stainless steel design. the coin represents the perfect blend of two families: you can clearly see the print of both Family Crests.
Alice Salmon: “Salmon is the name of my fatherand Kallenthe name of my mother. They are together since more than 40 years. My father offered the coin to my mother and is planning to give one to each of his children (we are four) because he was very pleased by the result and the very tiny details.”

Recently, the first Drone Games competition was hosted at the Groupon San Francisco offices. Drone Games is a NodeCopter-Style programming competition powered by drones and JavaScript. Hackers will receive one Parrot AR Drone 2.0 so they can work on their project. The day of the Games, hackers will get a chance to present their work to other attendees and judges. Winners and runner ups received some really cool 3D printed medals, designed in Tinkercad by Pekka Salokannel.
What if your card holder you had for years suddenly starts to fall apart? You just fire up Blender like Joost De Cock and design your own.
Mickael Vogel designed a case for a remote control that works with infrared transmission. I do wonder what it controls.
Finally, here’s Mark Bloomfield again with a ‘Secret garden charm‘. Beautiful and intricate as always. Wear it as a

Featured Friday: Showing your 3D printed designs
Happy Friday! The holidays are getting closer and the gallery is getting more colorful: check out the newest designs.
The first design we want to show you is from George Hlavacs. He designed the Higgs Boson Necklace in gold plated and polished brass. Hlavacs: ‘Wearing this beautiful jewelry will not only make you feel more attractive. It is also a a statement to trigger people to pay attention to small fascinating things which are invisible to our eyes, but determine our life so fundamentally. The picture you see is not a render, but the real product. This production technique is just unbelievable accurate.”
We love the colors Mark Bloomfield uses for his designs. This time he designed some Flower Machine Charms in polyamide: all the flowers can spin, so it’s perfect for some 21st century stress relief!
The next design is created by David, a small desktop figure called Adam Bomb, printed in prime gray. Enjoy!
That’s it for this week, hope you have a good weekend and

Tweak it, build it: unique 3D printed trophies by Twikit
Enough with the generic, uninspired metal medals. Three friends, Martijn, Gijs and Georges, just introduced their company Twikit. Winning will now be even sweeter thanks to their 3D printed personalized trophies.
Winning is great. But everytime I see the medals and trophies I can’t help myself thinking: ‘Again?’ For years, there haven’t been big changes or innovations in the trophy market to supply the winners with a hip and glam -3D printed- medal they deserve. Till now! Belgian based company Twikit is ready to change that industry. Martijn Joris, one of the founders: “We see ourselves as an exponent of the ‘makers’ era with a strong consumer oriented point of view. We want people to tweak and build products in the easiest way possible. Everybody can tweak our designs by using our online configurator.”
The Twikit team created an online platform through which anyone can personalize and order their very own 3D printed award. The company takes care of the production and finishing o
