3D Printing Of Precious Metals: UK Announces Initiative

Printing of plastics and some metals have become somewhat common place in the DIY community, however what if you wanted to print out fine jewelry? Gold, Silver, Platinum, out of a 3D Printer? We may not have to wait too long. The UK has launched an initiative to create faster, cheaper ways to make precious metal jewelry via 3D Printing. With £212,000 and 5 partners the initiative was launched yesterday., calling itself the "Precious Project." More details on the project can be found here: http://www.precious-project.co.uk/index.asp

You can still create jewellery that looks like it was made out of metal. Check this 3D printed earring: http://www.3d2print.net/shop/blog/cool/clear-earrings/, which is purely made of clear Taulman T-Glase. Amazing right?
