Not linked parts in jewelry

#1

Hello everybody.
I only have a question. I need to know if it is possible to print not linked parts in a jewelry model for brass or steel.
For example if I made a 3D model for a cuban chain bracelet.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately in metal 3D production such designs can’t be printed due to technology reasons. The only materials accepting such parts would be polyamide/polypropylene/alumide with powder sintering as a means of manufacturing.

Ok thank you very much.
And would it be possible to print it if I put a small union cylinder that could later be cut?

Hello,

If they model is one-piece integral article - sure. Just make sure to follow other guidelines on the website regarding making a model printable in precious metals.
